The holiday season is upon us, and Kelsea Ballerini helped us get in the spirt with her performance during CMA Country Christmas on Nov. 30. The country star sang a rendition of “Santa Baby,” and added to the sultry vibe of the performance with a sexy look. She wore a strapless red mini dress, which put her toned and tanned legs on display. The look was complete with bright red lipstick and her hair in loose waves.
Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, CMA Country Christmas had to be filmed without a live audience this year. Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, hosted the intimate gathering, which featured country singers performing holiday classics, as well as some original hits. Other performers at the event included Dan + Shay, Gabby Barrett, Tim McGraw, Florida Georgia Line and more.
CMA Country Christmas comes just weeks after the 2020 CMA Awards, where Kelsea also performed. She was added to the performance list at the last minute, and absolutely owned the night when she hit the stage to sing “Hole In The Bottle.” In October, Kelsea also rocked out to her song, “The Other Girl,” at the CMT Awards. She was joined by Halsey for the sexy, Coyote Ugly-themed performance.
While 2020 kept artists off the road due to restrictions on gatherings amidst the coronavirus, Kelsea has definitely managed to keep busy. She released her third album in March, just days after the country went on lockdown. Over the summer, she recorded stripped-down versions of every song on the record and released a second version in September. Kelsea also teamed up with Shania Twain to drop a remix of “Hole In The Bottle” earlier this month.
On top of all of that, she and her husband, Morgan Evans, moved into a new home in Nashville. After several weeks of packing up their previous house, they’re now working on settling into their new place. What a ride!
