Default ac belt slipped off

Ac belt came off on the road today. Could it be the tensioner, the ac compressor pulley or the actual belt itself? Started squealing a little so I pulled over and seen that the belt had come halfway of the the crank pulley and ac pulley kept driving and noise stopped when I got to my house it was hanging off.

i had the same thing happen to me....it turned out being the tensioner pulley....bearings rusted from water and salt yada yada...so the pulley froze and snapped the belt. got a new pulley at napa $22 good to go.kinda pita to get the pulley back on, but that was my experience with the ac belt issue.
