Kelsea Ballerini hit the CMT Awards red carpet on Sunday night in Austin, Texas, to host the awards show for a fourth and final time. This is the first time she’ll be doing it solo. In previous years, Ballerini was joined onstage by country artist Kane Brown and actor Anthony Mackie. 

The country star, who just dropped her newest single, “Love me Like You Mean It (Reimagined)” on Friday, wore a sheer red, lace gown for the occasion. Ballerini paired the look with a pair of matching red, “Max” platform sandals by Jimmy Choo.
