Instantly drawing comparisons to Taylor Swift’s leotard from the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Kelsea, 23, wore the sparkly ensemble, designed by The Blonds, on stage as she performed her hit single “Yeah Boy.”

“I wear a lot of glitter, I have bass drops and programmed beats in my songs and performances, but ya know what, I write, sing, and LOVE country music and am so happy and humbled to be a part of such a beautiful night honoring it. K BYE,” she captioned a photo of her scene-stealing outfit.

As expected, fans loved her bold look and showed their support for the Tennessee native on social media.

“@KelseaBallerini ‘s ACM performance romper is my spirit animal,” one follower tweeted before another commented on Instagram, “I LOVE you so much!!!! Your music, you, and all your glitter!!!! Keep doing you.”

While Kelsea has always been a huge fan of Taylor, she does not want to be compared to the “Bad Blood” singer.

“I thought it was the meanest thing anybody could ever say to me, and I canceled my second meeting and went home,” she told USA Today after a music executive told her she was just another Taylor. “It ended up being the most valuable lesson I could have learned that early: not to be a voice that’s already a voice, to find what you want to say and how you want to say it.”

Taylor has also made it known she is a fan of Kelsea’s music in the past, leading to a throwback photo of the duo meeting before Kelsea’s music career took off.

“Driving around with the @KelseaBallerini EP on repeat… SO lovely:)#yeahboy #lovemelikeyoumeanit,” Taylor tweeted in 2015, prompting Kelsea to reply, “You are one of the main reasons I started writing songs and being fearless (ay?) enough to do this.”
