These stars go all out for a beautiful crazy country music date night.
While celebrating the latest and greatest in country music at the Country Music Association Awards, many of the genre's biggest names are doing so with their loved ones by their side—and the 2024 ceremony will be no different.
In fact, over the years a number of fan-favorite couples have strapped on their boots and saddled up to make their marks on the red carpet.
Luke Bryan—who is cohosting this year’s ceremony alongside Lainey Wilson and Peyton Manning—and his wife Caroline Boyer have often walked the red carpet together, including in 2021 when he hosted and took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year Award.
Last year, country princess Kelsea Ballerini—who is nominated for Musical Event of the Year alongside folk singer Noah Kahn for their song “Cowboys Cry Too”—and her boyfriend, Outer Banks star Chase Stokes, made their official CMA Awards couple debut, with photographers capturing their first heartwarming moments on the carpet.
Last year’s event also saw podcast host XO Bunnie and her country singer husband Jelly Roll—who is nominated for three awards including Entertainer of the Year—sharing an adorable red carpet kiss while sporting stylish matching black outfits.
And for husband-wife duo Chris Stapleton and Morgane Stapleton—who are parents to Waylon, 13, Ada, 12, Macon and Samuel, 5, and their youngest, 4—the two are no strangers to the CMA red carpet as the two have been attending for over 10 years. This year, Chis is nominated for five awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Single and Song of the Year for his track “White Horse,” which Morgane served as a producer on.

Not to be excluded, however, is country music’s legendary couple of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, who last attended the ceremony in 2017. There, they took to the stage to perform their heartstring tuggin' hit “The Rest of Our Lives.”
Throughout their history with the ceremony, the couple—who tied the knot in 1996—have acquired an impressive 61 nominations, with Tim winning 11 times—including the 2001 Entertainer of the year—and Faith winning three. Needless to say, these two love birds are CMA Awards royalty.
