Kelsea Ballerini posted a hilarious response after wearing the same dress as Mackenzie Porter at the 2022 CMA Awards.
The country music singer took to TikTok on November 10
Where she posted a video of a red carpet faux pas. « Have: Blue is the moment. Have: Great ideas are all the same. Have: I put on a green dress right away because she looked so good in it.
« It gives way
You don’t dare to put ‘Who’s dressed better?’ or juxtapositions, it’s rude, » she continued, before jumping casually to the lyrics of Lizzo’s song « About Damn Time. » ..
« Feeling picky
Wearing my Balenci-ussies, trying to bring out Fabulous, » she sings playfully.

The singers made a splash by walking down the CMA red carpet in identical blue Balenciaga gowns. This blue floor-length dress was first worn by Kim Kardashian at the Oscars Vanity Fair party in March.
The dive dress from Balenciaga’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection also features a high neckline with cutouts and trains on the back. Ballerini wore a dress with built-in blue gloves, similar to Kardashian, while Porter wore no gloves and had matching blue earrings.
Many fans praised Kelsey Ballerini’s reaction and praised the « I Quit » singer’s « classic » handling of the coincidental twin moments.
« You are absolutely top girl
Love your positive responses! » commented one TikTok user.
« Great show Kelsey
That’s how you handle it as a woman and as a professional, » said another. « Did you ever think you didn’t kill the dress! ».
One fan wrote
« You handle this situation like a champ!! You looked amazing last night!! » while another said: « Haha women for women! Indeed! ».
Back in August
Kelsea Ballerini borrowed a Shania Twain dress for the 2022 ACM Honors. Marc Bouwer’s iconic white dress was made famous by the « Anyone For Me » singer at the 1999 Grammys.
Ballerini said she wanted to wear the dress as a tribute to Twain
Who gave the honor a stamp of approval. « She looked amazing. She looked like an absolute angel. It was so flattering to see her in this dress, and she really wanted to, » Twain said at the time. « It was an incredible night for me at the Grammys. This dress represents that experience, so I’m excited to see it come to life again. »
