BREAKING

Kelsea Ballerini’s 2026 ACM Awards Look is a Total Goddess Vibe — There was something undeniably different about Kelsea Ballerini at the 2026 ACM Awards—and no, it wasn’t just the gorgeous new hair. When the country-pop superstar arrived at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday (April 17), she absolutely commanded the red carpet. Looking radiant in a customized Roberto Cavalli gown, Kelsea delivered what instantly became one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the entire night. And honestly? We are still obsessing over it. Drenched in gilded detailing and inspired by the label’s Spring 2026 runway collection, the cream-toned dress featured delicate straps, a corseted silhouette, and shimmering gold leaf embellishments that gave the entire look an airy, goddess-like effect. It was romantic, confident, and refreshingly effortless—much like the new era Kelsea seems to be stepping into both personally and professionally. (Insert Image Here) Inside Kelsea Ballerini’s New Era and Fresh Start If you’ve been keeping up with Kelsea, you know the “Cowboys Cry Too” singer has spent the past few months embracing a major life reset following her split from Chase Stokes earlier this year. Since relocating to New York City, Kelsea has been incredibly open with her fans about intentionally focusing on herself, slowing down after years of nonstop touring, and settling into a chapter centered around growth, friendship, and self-discovery. And let us tell you, that exact “fresh start” energy translated beautifully onto the Vegas red carpet. Her beauty look leaned fully into that inner glow. Celebrity makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan paired Kelsea’s bronzed complexion with glossy neutral lips, soft rose-gold tones on the eyes, and luminous skin that looked flawless from every single angle. Her newly darker “bronde” hair was styled into dramatic, mermaid-length waves with warm golden highlights framing her face, adding an elevated bohemian touch to the already dreamy ensemble. (Insert Image Here) The Exact Product Behind Kelsea’s Flawless ACM Glow We know you’re dying to know how she got that seamless, lit-from-within finish, and luckily, we have the exclusive scoop. To prep her skin ahead of the carpet, Deenihan used TINGE’s transfer-resistant body tint in the shade Tan Neutral ($49) to even out and enhance Kelsea’s complexion. Applied with the brand’s new Big Brush ($44), the lightweight formula helped create a natural glow that held up through the intense Vegas heat, nonstop flashing cameras, and a packed awards show evening without ever looking heavy or overdone. Celeb Secrets Style Tip: This body tint has quietly become the ultimate holy grail for beauty lovers looking for that smooth, radiant “your skin but better” effect—especially during high-stakes event season. In fact, our very own Celeb Secrets CEO Juliet Schroder wore the exact same formula throughout her ACM Awards weekend festivities! Trust us when we say it’s the perfect finishing touch for long nights under bright stage lights. (Insert Image Here) While fans are still keeping close tabs on Kelsea’s relationship status following some recent sightings with Stokes back in NYC, the singer made one thing crystal clear at the ACMs: this era is fully about her. Between the fashion evolution, the softer beauty aesthetic, and the undeniable confidence she carried onto the carpet, Kelsea looked every bit like an artist stepping boldly—and stylishly—into her next chapter. We can’t wait to see what she does next!Plus the Exact $49 Secret to Her Red Carpet Glow 2 days ago

Celeb Secrets: Game Shakers returns this Saturday with new episodes! What’s to come from Babe, Kenzie, and the rest of the GS this season?

Cree Cicchino: “Some dancing, rapping, a little romance, a bunch of sillies, all the fun stuff you’d expect from the Game Shakers.”

Madisyn Shipman: “There is a lot of boy drama this season! Our character have changed a lot over the years and we are definitely growing up which is awesome to see throughout the episodes!”

CS: On Saturday, Jace Norman guest stars as his character Henry. I know you’ve worked with Jace before for your crossover, but what was it like having him back and guest starring on your show?

CC: “It was great! Jace is super talented and we had a lot of fun. It’s always nice to work with a good friend.”

MS: “It’s great working with Jace. He is a super nice guy and always has great advice when you need it! We do film in the same building as the HD kids but we don’t really get to see them often due to our different schedules.”

CS: In the episode, Babe tries to plan the perfect date with Henry. What’s your ideal date with your crush?

CC: “I don’t know probably just sitting at home drinking tea and being anti-social together. Knitting may or may not be involved.”

MS: “My ideal date is going to a theme park, then to the beach to watch the sunset. I feel the theme park brings fun and character into the mist then going to the beach and watching the sunset is romantic yet beautiful.”

CS: We know that the girls are creating a dating app this season. Does this mean we will we see romance for Babe and Kenzie in these upcoming episodes?

CC: “Yeah that’ll definitely happen. There’s actually a whole episode about some dating app mishaps.”

MS: “I can’t reveal too much but like I said the girls are definitely growing up and boys are being introduced.”

CS: It seems like the GS are going to get into a lot of crazy situations these upcoming episodes — which one is your favorite (that you could tease) and why?

CC: “I can’t really spoil anything but in one upcoming episode, Babe has a fear of hers revealed that happens to be one of my real life fears as well. It was super fun to play around with that.”

MS: “Ok this is easy! Romeo Beckham! Romeo has been my celebrity crush for about 4 years now and when he followed me on Instagram I freaked out! I will gladly be his Juliet.”

CS: What’s one thing you want your characters to do (or achieve) in upcoming episodes?

CC: “It’s not something I necessarily want to achieve, but I think it would be really fun to meet Babe’s mom.”

MS: “We have a lot of episodes including a very special guest coming up! I can’t reveal too much but he’s connected to GG in some way. You’ll have to watch the upcoming episodes to find out who!!”
