See Kelsea Ballerini Sizzle in a Red Hot Cutout Gown

Kelsea Ballerini brought the heat to the MTV Video Music Awards this year.

The 30-year-old singer showed up in style to the Sept. 12 awards show, demanding attention in a fiery red hot gown with cutouts all along the side.

Revealing almost her entire bare back, Ballerini's jaw-dropping attire for the evening also featured a plunging cutout neckline, while the garment's halter top was fastened around her neck with two tiny red spaghetti straps.

Ballerini's look was perfectly complimented by boyfriend Chase Stokes, who also looked dapper in his own red ensemble, featuring white pants and a black shirt under his long red jacket.

However, the VMAS, where Ballerini was slated to perform, wasn't the only highlight of the singer's evening on Tuesday. Specifically, September 12 marked the chart topper's 30th birthday.

While talking to Kevan Kenny during the VMAs pre-show, Ballerini admitted that Stokes got her a "really personal and really sweet" birthday present, though she didn't dish on exactly what the gift was.

She also addressed her and Stokes' matching red outfits for the night, teasing that there was a "long story" behind the couple's twinning moment.

The Outer Banks actor—who was packing on the PDA with Ballerini on the red carpet—showed up to support the Rolling Up the Welcome Mat artist, who, as we mentioned, was among the lineup of performers.

The evening was certainly a star-studded affair, as Demi Lovato, Cardi BMegan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Shakira and many more all hit the red carpet at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
