Brenda Lee is rockin' around the red carpet at the 57th Annual CMA Awards.
The iconic singer showed up looking glamorous as she made an appearance at the distinguished award show ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday, Nov. 8.
Lee, 78, was all smiles while posing during her red carpet photocall at the Bridgestone Arena, as she donned an all-black outfit and a spunky red lip for the occasion.
The "I'm Sorry" songstress added a little extra flair to her monochromatic look, wearing a sparkly sequin top with black dress pants and a long lace cardigan that reached all the way down to her knees.

Wednesday's appearance comes just days after Lee marked the 65th anniversary of her hit holiday song, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," which initially debuted in 1958.
To celebrate the milestone, the singer—affectionately dubbed "Little Miss Dynamite"—released a new music video for the Christmastime classic, featuring cameos from her friends Tanya Tucker and Trisha Yearwood.
"Trisha and Tanya are my buds," Lee said while talking about the video's premiere with CMT. "They're always up for anything we ask each other. If one of them asks me to do something, I'll do it. If I ask one of them, they'll do it."
"So, I just thought it would be cool to have them on it," she continued. "And their tenure in the industry speaks for itself, as does the song 'Rockin'. So I was just very honored that they saw fit to do it."
