Kelsea Ballerini Pulls Off an Impressive 9 Outfit Changes While Hosting the 2024 CMT Awards

Ballerini started her night by walking the red carpet with boyfriend Chase Stokes

Kelsea Ballerini couldn't host the 2024 CMT Awards in just one outfit.

She didn't do her hosting duties in two, three or four looks either.

Ballerini, 30, had an impressive 9 outfit changes for her big night.

She first hit the red carpet with boyfriend Chase Stokes wearing a sizzling hot red David Koma dress with lace panels and a sheer skirt. She accessorized with plenty of Effy jewelry to add extra sparkle to her sexy look.

Ballerini floated down the red carpet with Stokes on her arm before heading inside for the show, where she changed into her second look for the night: a sparkly mesh long-sleeve dress worn over a black bra and high-waisted briefs. She completed the look with pointy-toed heels that also had a hint of sparkle.

The "Love Me Like You Mean It" singer then went full camp with a Barbie-inspired look — that she brought back from last year. Ballerini revisited her Halloween costume from her gig with The Donut Shop, and if it looks familiar, it's because it's inspired by Margot Robbie's Barbie costume from the movie when she makes it into the real world.

Ballerini wore pink flared pants, a teeny-tiny pink vest and a white cowboy hat, just like Barbie.

Ballerini kept the outfit changes coming with a graphic two-piece set next. She changed into a green, purple and blue sequin look with a sleeveless top and pants that featured tons of sparkle and sheer paneling all over.

Ballerini then slipped into a buttery yellow turtleneck short-sleeve dress with dramatic shoulders. The best part about it, though, was the super-high — and dramatically wide — slit up her leg. The sexy feature allowed the musician to show off her metallic silver pumps.

She also switched up her jewelry and chose chunky drop earrings to be the focal point of her monochromatic look.

The CMT Music Award winner also kept it casual for one of her looks, wearing a pair of gray trousers (still with heels!) with a black T-shirt that read, "This shirt saves lives," a St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital charity shirt. Ballerini has worked with St. Jude's for years and St. Jude's is the charitable partner of the CMT Awards.

Ballerini even hit the stage to perform, though it was pre-taped at the University of Texas Tower a few days in advance. So while technically not an outfit change on April 7, it still counts as one of her glam looks for her big night!

To sing her reimagined version of "Love Me Like You Mean It," she wore a long-sleeve, gold sequin bodysuit over black tights. She wore her hair pulled back in a ponytail and she rocked the same chunky earrings she wore with her yellow dress.

Did you think she was done yet? Nope! She also wore a moto-inspired look. She wore a leather off-the-shoulder belted coat with a miniskirt — and shorter hair! She ditched the long hair she'd had earlier in the night, instead going with her natural length, parted to one side.

For her final look of the evening, Ballerini wore a mint green feathered minidress with a plunging neckline. Her long-sleeved dress had plenty of drama to cap off her evening, and she finished her look with pointy-toed heels.

This was Ballerini's fourth year in a row hosting the show, but her first time doing it solo. She previously told PEOPLE, “It’s definitely new grounds for me. But it’s my fourth year hosting, so I feel like I’ve learned a lot. And the good thing about CMTs is there’s such a light energy, so there’s not a pressure that I feel to be perfect. I just want to be fun, honor the night and help people have a good time.”
