Gabby Barrett Rocks a Dark and Dramatic Gown at the ACM Awards

Gabby Barrett took over the ACM Awards with her fashion, perfectly matching the black carpet and backdrop with her velvet gown with long sleeves that connected to a voluminous skirt and train.

The 23-year-old walked the carpet with her husband, Cade Foehner, who wore a classic black suit and tie.

Barrett was a presenter at the ACM Awards this year, after making history in 2022 as the show's youngest co-host, leading the show with Jimmie Allen, while Dolly Parton served as the main host.

This year, Parton and Garth Brooks were co-hosts.

The former American Idol contestant finished third on season 16 of the competition series, but it was no loss, as Barrett is already a big name in country music.

The star's debut song, "I Hope," was a No. 1 hit, becoming the first female artist to reach the top of the charts with their debut single since Carly Pearce in 2017. She followed up that success with a hit first album, Goldmine, which came out in 2020.

Most recently, Barrett released a music video in May 2022 for her fourth single from the debut album, called "Pick Me Up."

As a presenter at the ACM Awards this year, Barrett joined a long list of familiar names, including Keith Urban, Trisha Yearwood, and MacKenzie Porter, to name a few.

The 2023 ACM Awards also featured plenty of amazing performers, including Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Ed Sheeran, and more.

Hopefully, Barrett will attend next year's ACM Awards as a nominee!
