Kelsea Ballerini Tells Critics of Her CMT Awards Performance Outfit to ‘Shut Up’

Kelsea Ballerini took the stage at the 2024 CMT Music Awards on Sunday night (April 7) to perform her throwback hit, “Love Me Like You Mean It,” but not everyone was a fan of her bold fashion choice. The 30-year-old country star performed the the 2015 track in a gold, high neck leotard, which she pared with black tights and, notably, no pants. As a fan, it was one of the craziest moments of my life, so it feels very full-circle to go from the kid outside the barricade to being the host of the show.
