She smiled on the carpet with Stokes, who wore a brown suit and croc-embossed boots.

The singer referenced her relationship with Stokes and her new albumPATTERNSduring the People’s Choice Country Awards red carpet pre-show.

“I’m 31 now, I’m in a beautiful relationship, and when you’re in a good relationship, it really mirrors you, so you have to really assess yourself and then the other person, vice versa,” Ballerini said. “I think there’s a lot of that kind of intricacy within the record.”

She completed the look with gold heels and a low bun with a front strand pulled out. Her sparkly eye makeup and nude lip complemented the shimmering dress.
