The kickoff to a country summer has begun as the biggest stars in country music ushered in the season with their red carpet looks at the 2021 CMT Music Awards.
The safe and spread-out pre-game event to the most prominent music video awards show was packed full of stars looking their hottest, just like that of the southern summers found in the host city of Nashville. Everyone from Luke Bryan to Carly Pearce to Luke Combs made a fashionable appearance hours before the celebratory night began.
Some artists opted for that disco-chic style, with Kelsea Ballerini clad in a Barbie pink-inspired vinyl jumpsuit and Lindsay Ell rocking that silver ensemble from her head to her fabulous boot cast. Most of the men opted for a more casual vibe, as Jon Pardi brought Palm Springs to the carpet with his bright desert button-up and Thomas Rhett taking the neutrals route with an olive shirt-khaki pant combo.
