When it comes to music's biggest night, Kelsea Ballerini did not come to play!

Shortly before embarking on her Heartfirst tour, the 29-year-old singer hit the 2023 Grammys red carpet in a show-stopping yellow gown with strappy heels. The floor-length ensemble, complete with strategic cut-outs and a dramatic leg slit, was a major head-turner as Kelsea brought some sunshine to the red carpet.

The singer was nominated for Best Country Solo Performance for "Heartfirst" and although, she didn't go home with a Grammy, she's definitely a winner in our book.

Before arriving, Kelsea posted a series of stunning photos to show off every angle of her look, including a regal train.

The flowing dress designed by Prabal Gurung was a dead ringer and perfect homage to her look from her most recent album cover for Subject to Change. Her caption read, "never taking this sunshine dress off. thank you for making my album cover come to life in this custom dream @prabalgurung 💛."

To no one's surprise, fellow celebrities bombarded Kelsea's comment section singing their praises for her iconic fashion moment. Other fans wrote:

  • "Absolutely STUNNING 💛💛"

  • "A FREAKIN DREAM 💫"

  • "literal sunshine in human form"

  • "you are THE sun"

Once everyone was able to pick their jaws up from the floor, people couldn't help but wonder why she walked the carpet alone. The "half of my hometown" singer was recently linked with Outer Banks star Chase Stokes and, although neither has publicly said that they're a couple, it's pretty clear from Chase's post that they're catching feelings.

Kelsea's new beau was even caught lurking in the comment section. Chase left a simple "❤️" that garnered over 450 likes alone.

As the new headliner of CMT Storytellers premiering February 16 and returning as co-host for this year's CMT Music Awards, we can't wait to lay our eyes on her next iconic moment.
