Lainey Wilson was joined by her boyfriend, Devlin Hodges, at the 2024 CMT Music Awards on Sunday.
The country star, 31, was seen holding hands with the football quarterback, 27, before he sweetly planted a kiss on her cheek as they posed for photographs together on the red carpet.
For the special occasion, Wilson was one of the best-dressed stars at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
The Watermelon Moonshine singer and her boyfriend of nearly four years also wore matching black cowboy hats.
For her dazzling look, she turned heads as she modeled a metallic silver camisole with an asymmetrical hemline.

She matched her shiny top with a pair of black bellbottom pants covered in reflective mirror polkadots and silver platform heels.
The Grammy winner further accessorized with a unique bolo-inspired choker necklace with black beading and silver hardware.
Wilson left her long, platinum blonde tresses down in stunning mermaid-style beach waves and opted for a monochromatic makeup look with neutrals to highlight her natural beauty.
At her side, her NFL star boyfriend looked dapper in a white button-down, bolo tie and satin blazer.
He completed his look with straight-leg trousers to match and a pair of crocodile-embossed cowboy boots.
Wilson — who took home her first Grammy earlier this year in the Best Country Album category for Bell Bottom Country — is up for three awards at this year’s CMT Music Awards.
Her Watermelon Moonshine music video was nominated for Video of the Year as well as in the women’s category for Video of the Year.
Her collaboration with Lukas Nelson + Promise of The Real titled More Than Friends was also up for Collaborative Video of the Year.

The 2024 CMT Awards are finally here with a slew of fan-favorite artists set to be recognized this evening in Austin, Texas.
Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Megan Moroney, Jelly Roll, and Cody Johnson top the list with each earning three nominations.
Trisha Yearwood will be the recipient of the first-ever June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award.
The fan-voted award show will air live from the Moody Center on April 7.
This year’s edition will be hosted once again by country icon Kelsea Ballerini, who served as host for the last three ceremonies. This year, however, marks the first time she will be doing the honors on her own.
Ballerini, who ordinarily hosts with Kane Brown, told People: ‘It’s definitely new grounds for me.’
‘But it’s my fourth year hosting, so I feel like I’ve learned a lot. And the good thing about CMT is there’s such a light energy, so there’s not a pressure that I feel to be perfect.
‘I just want to be fun, honor the night and help people have a good time.’
