Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes set the red carpet ablaze with their fiery romance at the 2024 CMA Awards on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old country sensation and the 32-year-old Outer Banks star exuded elegance in their chic ensembles as they couldn’t keep their hands off each other at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ballerini sparkled in a stunning silver sequined gown, paired with sleek blonde curls and a soft pink lip, completing a look that was both glamorous and effortlessly chic.

Her dashing boyfriend couldn’t take his eyes off her, standing close in a sharp black suit that only amplified their undeniable chemistry.

The Hollywood power couple was among a host of country music’s biggest stars at the star-studded gala, with performances and appearances from the likes of Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, and more.

The 58th Annual Country Music Awards made its return with Peyton Manning, Luke Bryan, and newcomer Lainey Wilson sharing hosting duties for the night.

Alongside a lineup of top artists set to perform, the ceremony will include heartfelt tributes to country music icons. 

Lambert, Parker McCollum, Chris Stapleton, and Wilson will celebrate George Strait, who will receive the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.

The event will also feature a diverse group of presenters, including Simone Biles, Katharine McPhee, Dustin Lynch, and the 9-year-old viral sensation, Jackson Laux, who will help honor the evening’s winners.

Meanwhile, just last month, Kelsea gushed about how much she appreciates Chase’ pride in their relationship. 

The singer reminisced about how the actor made their romance Instagram official back in January 2023 — before they had even discussed whether they were ‘together.’

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight during a game of Sip or Spill, she said, ‘I think it is very underrated for a man to be really proud of his relationship.’

She added, ‘[He posted that photo] before we even had the conversation of like, “Are we together?” Even as a very independently wired woman, I love when he’s like, “This is us. Here we are.” He full-sent that.’

The photo, shared on January 13, 2023, was captioned ‘Lil recap’ and featured the couple cuddled up at a football game, with Kelsea tagged in the post, though their faces were not visible.

The couple is dedicated to nurturing their relationship, even when work keeps them apart for extended periods.

They officially stepped out together on the CMT Music Awards red carpet in April 2023.

Chase recently praised Kelsea as a ‘great person,’ stating on Today, ‘I truthfully think when you find somebody who’s not just somebody you love and adore, but is also your best friend, you’ve kind of got the best of both worlds. 

‘And she’s not just a great person, but everything that you see—whether it be on social media or when she’s on stage—is exactly the person she is when she’s not doing those things.’
