Kelsea Ballerini and Atlanta Braves’ first baseman Freddie Freeman took the stage to hand out the trophy. Freeman took a moment to congratulate Ballerini on her two wins earlier in the day for Music Video of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year for “Half of My Hometown.” Ballerini returned the favor by congratulating Freeman on the Braves’ recent World Series win.
