Kelsea Ballerinireally stood out on the red carpet at this year’sCMT Music Awards.
Her co-host Brown actually beat her out for the most nominations, with four.
Some people have criticized Ballerini for being too pop and not country anymore.
It’s the same criticism that a fellow country-turned-pop star also faced just a few years prior.
Winning the CMT award from the fans just validated everything that Ballerini felt.
Both Ballerini and Swift are changing the game for future artists whether people are ready for it or not.
