The 32-year-old singer, who performed her song "I Sit in Parks" at the ceremony, was one of the most memorable attendees. She was also nominated for 'Female Vocalist of the Year' alongside Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, and Lainey Wilson; and although Lainey, who also hosted the show, took home the award, Kelsea was a winner in our eyes thanks to her stunning red carpet look!

The "Cowboys Cry Too" hitmaker rocked a Christian Siriano strapless horsehair ruffle midi dress, with a daring sheer skirt and rose-reminiscent tulle detailing at the neckline and in the center. She committed fully to the seductive scarlet theme and accessorized with towering red Christian Louboutin heels and a bold red lip. Perfection!
