On Saturday night (4/29), Kelsea Ballerini was the belle of the ball when she took over the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards as host, performer and award winner. The “Yeah Boy” singer took home two of the four awards she was nominated for, including Country Favorite Song and Country Favorite Artist.

Along with claiming two trophies, Ballerini took part on a tribute for Britney Spears, who was being awarded with the first-ever Icon Award. The Tennessee native joined forces with Hailee Steinfeld, Sofia Carson and Jamie Lynn Spears for a medley of songs from the Princess of Pop. During the tribute, Ballerini donned a red jumpsuit and played a guitar-version of the 2000 hit “Oops!… I Did It Again.”

Ballerini kept the medleys going when she did a performance of her three No.1 songs “Love Me Like You Mean It,” “Peter Pan,” and “Dibs,” as well as her current single “Yeah Boy.” The tracks are featured on the singer’s debut album The First Time.

The blonde bombshell wasn’t the only country star to be recognized by Radio Disney voters. Maren Morris was recognized as the Country Best New Artist during the telecast.
