Caused by overwatering/root rot

Otherwise, it seems to be doing good from the top

Are you hanging the airplant upside down after watering so water doesn’t sit and pool inside leaves? If not it causes crown rot. Pull off any rotted parts and see if anything is left. Luck be with you.

Yes I have been setting It upside down on a towel after I’m done watering it. Is that right or do I need to set it on a drying rack or some thing?

i think you’re watering just a bit too often. try forgetting about it for a while and letting the bottom harden
