Meanwhile, her close friend and fellow country singer Kelsea Ballerini channeled Twain, wearing the same iconic white dress that Twain wore to the 1999 Grammy Awards. At that ceremony, the country queen won Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal performance for her single "You're Still the One."
