For the occasion, Kelsea stunned in a blue satin bustier top styled with matching flared trousers that gave a glimpse at her toned midriff.

The 29-year-old songstress wore her long, blonde hair in loose waves that cascaded down her chest.

Kelsea tied her makeup with her outfit by rocking icy blue eyeshadow on her lids and lower lash line.

To keep her shimmery peepers the focus, the singer painted her pout a matte nude shade and dusted her cheeks with peach blusher.

Kelsea is among the artists, including country supergroup Little Big Town and hitmaker Brandi Carlile, who will fill in for the late Naomi and perform with Wynonna during the special.

It is being filmed at the Murphy Center at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, which is the same arena where the original TV special was shot in 1991.

The Judds: Love is Alive — The Final Concert is a collaboration between CMT and Sandbox Productions. It is scheduled for airing in March 2023, according to PEOPLE.

Part of the proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Tennessee affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which focuses on improving the lives of people dealing with serious mental illness and their families.

Kelsea's appearance at Thursday's star-studded taping came just hours after it was revealed that she reached a divorce settlement with estranged husband Morgan Evans.

She filed for divorce this past summer after almost five years of marriage.

Kelsea and Morgan have split up personal property and furnishings, and put their Nashville home on the market, according to October 24 court docs reviewed by People, filed in Davidson County, Tennessee.

The Mascot, Tennessee-born entertainer and her estranged spouse, who had a prenuptial agreement, have 'vacated the marital residence' they are selling via a real estate agent they agreed on.

The Grammy-nominated country artist initially field for divorce from the Newcastle, Australia native on August 29, with an insider telling the outlet that both sides put effort into trying to salvage the relationship.

'They've been working on their marriage for a very long time,' a source told the outlet. 'Prior to this they had separated privately once before and have been in therapy for several years. They gave it their best go but unfortunately arrived at the decision to formally separate.'

The Peter Pan performer spoke about the breakup on Instagram Stories, saying, 'Friends, I've always tried my best to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold.

'This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce,' the singer-songwriter said. 'This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end.

Morgan and Kelsea were snapped in March in Las Vegas at the ACM Awards 

Kelsea said last month that her marriage to Evans 'just didn't work' and the decision made to split with not done in chaos or volatility 

'It's hard to find the words here ... but I feel extremely grateful for the years of marriage to Morgan and hopeful for the next seasons. With very active schedules coming up, please be mindful that we are both fragile, actively healing, and showing up the best we can.'

Morgan said in a statement on social media, 'I am very sad to confirm that after almost five years of marriage, Kelsea and I are parting ways. I wish it were otherwise but sadly it is not.'

He also put out a ballad titled Kiss Somebody in September, which made references to the breakup.

Ballerini and Evans took to Instagram in August with statements about the split 

Appearing on CBS Morning last month, Kelsea said she's on an 'active healing journey' in the wake of the split.

'When there's a big life decision like that, it's not a sudden one - there is a lot that happens before that becomes public,' she said. 'So I'm on my active healing journey, and a big part of that is ... showing up for myself like I never have.'

Kelsea said that her marriage to Morgan 'just didn't work' and the decision made to split with not done in chaos or volatility.

'That sometimes is a difficult narrative to get your head around when you're just like, "Oh my gosh, this is a good person and I'm a good person and this just isn't good anymore,"' Kelsea said.

Kelsea and Morgan initially met in March of 2016 when they co-hosted the CMC Awards and got engaged that December. They subsequently exchanged vows in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in December of 2017.
