Morgan Evans and Laci Kaye Booth made their red carpet debut at the 59th CMA Awards, which returned to Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday night (November 19) in Nashville, Tennessee.
Evans, 40, and Booth, 30, shared a kiss as they arrived to celebrate Country Music’s Biggest Night. Booth, who competed on American Idol in 2019, referred to the Australian singer-songwriter as “my boyfriend” during a performance earlier this year, “and I’m in love with him.”
After her run on Idol, Booth released her debut studio record, The Loneliest Girl In The World, in May 2024. She’s become known for “Luck Of The Draw,” “True Love,” “Daddy’s Mugshot,” “George F****** Strait,” and more. Evans is known for “Kiss Somebody,” “Day Drunk,” “On My Own Again” and more. His most recent song to release is “How To Make Gravy.”
“Date night with this baaaaabe,” Evans wrote in his caption on Instagram when he posted photos with Booth on Wednesday night.
Performers, presenters, special guests and others also walked the red carpet on Wednesday evening, including Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, host Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini (who was married to Evans from 2017 to 2022), Ella Langley, Lady A, LeAnn Rimes, Riley Green, Cody Johnson and more.
