Clarkson, 30, and Blackstock, 35, — the son of her manager, Narvel Blackstock, and Reba McEntire's stepson — have been dating since late last year.

The couple attended the event at Cowboy Town to help celebrate Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton's singles "Over You" and "Drink On It" going No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart. The "Stronger" singer went makeup-free for the occasion, but that didn't stop her from proudly posing with her new beau.
