Key Moments on the Red Carpet

The two shared a few sweet moments on the red carpet, and weren't afraid to show a little PDA in the process. The actor also gave Ballerini plenty of time in the spotlight as one of the show’s guest performers. Their affectionate gestures and playful interactions illustrated their close bond, making them one of the evening's most talked-about couples.

The "Heartfirst" singer is representing country music as a part of the entertainment for the evening. It's her first performance on the VMAs stage, and it also happens to be her 30th birthday. Not too shabby of a birthday gift for the talented artist! The excitement surrounding her performance added an extra layer of anticipation among fans eager to see her shine on such a prestigious platform.

Exciting Performance and Musical Journey

The song Ballerini is performing has not been announced, but it is expected to be a track from her Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good) EP, which arrived on August 11. Fans are buzzing with speculation about which song she will choose to perform, hoping for a powerful rendition that showcases her vocal prowess and emotional depth.

Although the Video Music Awards feature no country-specific categories, this is the second year the show has selected an artist from the genre to perform. Kane Brown took the stage last year in a historic first for country music. He performed "Grand," which was also nominated for Song of the Summer. Ballerini's representation of country music at such a high-profile event continues to pave the way for future artists in the genre.
