Chase Stokes can’t stop gushing about his girlfriend Kelsea Ballerini!

On Monday, while on the red carpet for the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York, PEOPLE spoke to the Outer Banks actor, 31, about the “Love Me Like You Mean It” singer, 30.

Stokes opened up about not only seeing the Mascot, Tennessee native perform in her hometown for her Heartfirst Tour, but also headlining the show.
