"Country Barbie" Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes Share Hot Makeout Sesh at the CMT Awards
*fans self*
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes are arguably the hottest couple in country right now. (Never mind that he's actually famous for being a TV actor.)
The adorable lovebirds showed off how into each other they are at Sunday's CMT Awards, when they were pictured passionately making out both on the red carpet and backstage.
In the backstage kiss pic, Ballerini—who hosted the country music awards show—channeled Margot Robbie channeling country Barbie in a hot pink crop top and matching bell bottoms adorned with metallic stars, a white cowboy hat, and a hot pink neckerchief.
This was just one of approximately a gazillion stunning looks (but actually nine) the "Peter Pan" singer pulled off throughout the night.
First of all, she arrived in her red-carpet best: a gauzy red floor-length gown with lace details by David Koma, styled by Mariel Haenn.
She also made a glittering impression in a sparkly see-through dress over a black underwear set—and was pictured in this outfit with Stokes giving the camera an approving thumbs up in the background.
Ballerini also wore the funnest white feathered long-sleeve mini dress for the occasion:
