Now that’s a date night to look forward to.
Kelsea Ballerini And Chase Stokes were arm in arm as they walked the red carpet at the CMT Music Awards in Austin, Texas on April 7.
The “Hole in the Bottle” singer arrived at the event, where she will host, in a red lace dress, while the Outer Banks The star looked stylish in a cream jacket worn over a white top with black pants. (See all the stars on the red carpet here.)
Later in the evening, Kelsea will take the stage to perform, joining a roster of country stars including Trisha Yearwood, Small big city, Old Dominion, Jelly roll, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson And Sam Hunt.
Kelsea and Chase’s rock outing comes just months after the couple celebrated their first anniversary together. “Quite a trip around the sun with my best friend,” Kelsea wrote on Instagram on January 7. “@hichasestokes thank you for making me write love songs.”
The change in tone follows a season of heartbreak for Kelsea, who filed for divorce from her ex Morgan Evans in 2022.
In fact, the 30-year-old credits her six-track EP Rolling up the welcome mat by helping him “process” the breakup. “It’s the way I took my feelings out of my body and my heart and put them to music,” Kelsea explained in a statement on the day of her EP’s release last February, “which is the purest way I could have handled them.”
