Country style met red carpet glamour at Wednesday night's CMA Awards in Nashville.

Her fellow nominees Kelsea Ballerini and Kacey Musgraves went for glittering glamour, with Ballerini wearing a shining silver gown, and Musgraves wearing a light blue crystal studded gown with fun, feathery sleeves.
