Award season is back at it, and swinging with some good country music in the background. Tonight, on Wednesday, Nov 8, stars from all over gathered to celebrate the best and brightest of country music at the 2023 Country Music Association Awards Awards.
Hosted yet again by the beloved, unexpected duo of country singer Luke Bryan and NFL star Peyton Manning, the live show is taking place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN again, and everyone is brimming with excitement. It starts at 8 PM, but the red carpet has been the showstopping extravaganza we’ve been hoping for. (And yes, you can watch it all on Hulu!)
While we’ve been obsessed with the red carpet fashion, we’re also so excited to see the performances by stars like Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Kenny Chesney, Little Big Town, Carly Pearce, Chris Stapleton, Post Malone, Lainey Wilson, and more.
But before we start dancing our butts off, let’s talk about the fashion. Celebrities brought their A-game, from ultra-colorful gowns to sleek and chic suits.
