Avril Lavigne joined Nate Smith at the star-studded 59th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, held at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas on Thursday.
The Sk8er Boi hitmaker, 39, and the country singer, 38, are set to hit the stage at the award show where they will debut their new duet, Bulletproof, live for the first time.
Earlier in the day Smith and Avril announced the release of the song with an Instagram post.
While posing on the red carpet Avril rocked an all-black look featuring a hoodie and bell bottom jeans with rips.
The duo sparked dating rumors earlier this year when they grabbed dinner together at Catch Steak in January, following her split from rapper Tyga.

Avril wore her long blonde tresses parted in the middle and styled in light waves.
She accentuated her features with her signature dark makeup, with smokey eyeshadow drawing attention to her magnetic eyes.
Meanwhile Nate looked cool as ever in a black t-shirt and jeans and a brown leather jacket. He completed the outfit with a black hat and two layered necklaces.
The two made a joint Instagram post earlier in the day announcing Bulletproof with a number of snaps.
The single’s cover photo featured Avril and Nate in two polaroid snaps.
Avril sizzled in a black bustier and leather pants. Nate sported a black leather jacket and a white hat.
Another image saw them posing together with Nate’s arm around the Canadian superstar.
They also posted four candid Photo Booth snaps where they made funny faces at the camera.
The duo upped the fun factor with a video announcing the single.
Avril took a hilarious stab at impersonating Nate, while he playfully mocked her accent. The jabs had Avril in stitches as she doubled over in laughter by the video’s end.

Nate’s career kicked off after his song Wildfire went viral on Tik Tok in 2020.
The single led to him securing a record deal with Sony Music Nashville and release subsequent singles Raised Up and I Don’t Wanna Go To Heaven.
Originally from Paradise, California, the musician’s home burned down in the Butte County Camp Fire in 2018.
The natural disaster was the state’s most deadliest and destructive wildfire in history and inspired Nate’s breakout song One Of These Days.
Nate previously dated TV personality Savannah Chrisley but the pair broke up some time around May 2023.
Savannah, who is the daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, said at the time: ‘It was such a great experience. I mean, I have literally nothing to say about him other than having so much respect for him. It was just a tough situation for everyone involved.’
Avril officially brought her on-off romance with rapper Tyga to an end back in October.
They first went public with their romance last March, only for rumours to begin flying in June that they had broken up.

However they were then spotted together at a Las Vegas event over Fourth Of July weekend, igniting an explosion of conjecture that they were back on.
However an insider confirmed to People late last year that they only briefly got back together and their relationship was ‘totally over.’
Prior to her relationship with Tyga, Avril was engaged to American rapper Mod Sun.
Avril has also been married twice after first walking down the aisle with Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, when she was just 22 years-old.
The couple got engaged in 2005 and tied the knot a year later. However by 2009, the pair had gone their separate ways, with a source telling People she ‘married too young’.
Avril walked down the aisle for the second time to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger in a gothic South of France ceremony in 2013, but sadly the couple split two years later.
