Have you ever heard the saying “less is more”? Well, it seems like country music star Kelsea Ballerini took that saying to heart at the recent CMT Awards in Austin. The 30-year-old singer shocked fans and critics alike with her daring “no pants” look.
Ballerini, who has hosted the awards show four times since 2021, took on solo hosting duties for the first time this year. And she made sure to make a statement with her wardrobe choices. Throughout the evening, she went through a total of nine outfit changes, each more glamorous than the last.
But it was her gold bodysuit, worn with nothing underneath, that really turned heads. Some people felt that Ballerini had gone a little too far with her fashion choice. However, the singer didn’t let the criticism get to her.
In a video posted on her TikTok channel, Ballerini responded to the backlash. When someone commented, “You forgot your pants for your performance,” she replied with a snappy “Shut up. No, I didn’t.” And when another critic asked, “Where are your pants?” she simply replied, “Shut up.”
Fans of the country music star came to her defense, praising her for her boldness and confidence. They flooded the comments section with messages of support and admiration for her outfit choices.
At the end of the show, Ballerini announced that it would be her last time hosting the CMT Awards. She described the event as a “summer party” and expressed her desire to bring that energy to the screen and the room.
