The CMT Awards on Monday, April 11th had their fair share of leg-revealing mini dresses (yes Carrie Underwood, we’re looking at you and your sensational purple Dolce and Gabbana dress!) but another hot trend on the Nashville red carpet showed off another body part altogether.
We’re talking about abs, and the barely-there crop tops and bralettes that some of the biggest names in country music wore to show them off in! Take a look at some of the most show-stopping ab-revealing outfits on the CMT Awards red carpet…
Kelsea Ballerini

The CMT Awards were somewhat bittersweet for Kelsea, as she was unable to attend the ceremony due to testing positive for COVID-19. However, that didn’t seem to stop her, as she hosted the ceremony live from her home; backdrop and everything! What a pro! We’re eternally grateful that the 28-year-old “Half of My Hometown” singer was well enough to host and also pull out all the stops with her outfit, as she was one of the best-dressed of the entire ceremony thanks to her dazzling and ab-baring bralette and Michael Kors high-wasited pantsuit. Kelsea 1, COVID, 0.

If anyone is going to tempt you into attending that workout class, or at the very least, doing some sit-ups and ab crunches at home, it’s going to be Maren! The 32-year-old “Circles Around This Town” singer blew everyone away with her sparkly crop top and red skirt combo on the red carpet, mixing sexy and edgy with romantic all in one unforgettable look!

The 36-year-old “Made Me This Way” singer also flaunted her rock hard abs in a stunning gold bralette, which she wore underneath a chic and powerful pink velour pantsuit. The matching gold platform heels and the insanely sparkly bag were the perfect accessories of choice, too!

The 2013 The Voice winner showed that straight cut crop tops are a great alternative to racier bralettes, as she proved that you can flash your abs in a less-revealing way with her red crop top and nude fitted full-length skirt combo. The 25-year-old “Break My Heart Again” singer kept the accessories to a minimum, and wore her hair in a non-distracting effortless up-do, to let her perfectly sculpted abs do all the talking!

The 18-year-old “Real To Me” singer incorporated crop top and bralette elements with her retro 70s-inspired jumpsuit with cutouts, which she finished off with a matching cape in the same print; and we are a little bit obsessed with it! We like it when celebs take style risks on the red carpet, especially when they pay off like this!
