On Thursday, May 16, the 30-year-old country musician wore a gold halter turtleneck gown styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Heann and kept it simple with accessories. Ballerini wore her hair pulled back in a lower bun with a single, loose strand styled in front. For her makeup, the face of CoverGirl and the Pantene healthy hair ambassador was glowing thanks to Kelsey Deenihan, who gave her a shimmery eye and a nude, glossy lip. Ballerini, who performed a mash-up of her song "Mountain with a View" and "Stick Season" with Noah Kahan — was nominated for three ACM awards this year, including female artist of the year and album of the year.
