Kelsea Ballerini seemingly FaceTimed her boyfriend Chase Stokes so he could take in Sam Hunt’s performance during CMA Fest from afar.

Fans think the country star was on the phone with her beau while Hunt was singing at Spotify House in Nashville on Thursday night, based on a video of the moment posted on Twitter.

In the clip, Ballerini, 29, appears to be talking to Stokes, 30, when she turns her phone toward Hunt, 38, and her screen shows the Outer Banks star looking in the direction of the crowd.

Earlier in the evening, Ballerini had herself performed at Ole Red — transformed into Spotify House for the weekend — for a short surprise set, singing hits "Blindsided" and "Penthouse" off her most recent EP, as well as "If You Go Down (I’m Goin' Down Too)" from her 2022 album Subject to Change.

Last month, Ballerini had Stokes join her onstage with shots of tequila before she and Kenny Chesney finished out the second to last city night of his tour in Charleston, South Carolina, by duetting "You and Tequila.”

After Ballerini poked fun at Stokes with a joke referencing a line from the most recent season of his hit Netflix series, all three turned their backs to the stadium's audience and posed for photos together, holding their shots in the air.

Ballerini and Stokes have been linked since January, when the Netflix star posted a photo of them getting cozy at a Georgia vs. TCU game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Ballerini later confirmed their romance in a February episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.

In April, the pair then walked their first red carpet as a couple as they attended the CMT Awards, where Ballerini co-hosted alongside Kane Brown. The two were all smiles as they hugged it out on the red carpet.
