Kelsea Ballerini Makes Statement at CMT Music Awards With Drag Queen Performance

Kelsea Ballerini incorporated 'RuPaul's Drag Race' stars Olivia Lux, Jan Sport, Kennedy Davenport and Manila Luzon into her performance of 'If You Go Down (I'm Goin' Down Too)' at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, as drag performers and members of the LGBTQ+ community face political attacks across the country, especially in Tennessee, home to country music's hub, Nashville. The queens share what the moment means to them backstage with ET's Cassie DiLaura, who also quickly chats with Kelsea, who declares, 'I love inclusivity.'
