Zach Top and his girlfriend Amelia Taylor enjoyed a date night on the 2025 ACM Awards red carpet when they arrived to the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
Zach Top and Amelia Taylor Walk ACM Awards Red Carpet
Zach Top and his girlfriend made a stylish entrance at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, turning heads with their coordinated Western flair. Zach kept things classic with a pair of blue jeans, a crisp white button-up shirt, and a striking black Western-style jacket featuring white stitching, topped off with boots and a cowboy hat that tied the whole look together.
Amelia complemented his vibe perfectly in a bold full-denim pantsuit, putting a chic twist on a timeless country staple.
Before hitting the ACM Awards red carpet, Zach Top shared that he styled himself without the help of a stylist and confessed that his habit of making last-minute outfit changes tends to drive his girlfriend crazy.
I don’t let anybody dress me. I don’t let anybody tell me what to play or to sing… The problem is, I don’t let anybody dress me. It’d probably be a whole lot better if I did let them dress me, but I’m just going to wander in whatever it is,” Top admitted to Country Now.
Top continued, “I think my girlfriend gets tired of me ‘cause I say like, ‘alright, let’s wear this.’ She wants it to be kind of coordinated. You’ve got to have it on the same page. Then a week before [the event] it’s like, ‘maybe I want to wear this instead,’ So I give her hell for sure. But she makes it through. She’s a wonderful woman and puts up with a lot of grief for me. So we’ll see what I show up in.”
When Did Zach Top And His Girlfriend Hard Launch Their Relationship?
Top and his girlfriend made their red carpet debut at the CMA Awards in November 2024, marking their first official public appearance as a couple. Since then, Amelia has been by his side at tour dates, on vacations, and more.
The couple “hard launched” their relationship just days before the 2024 CMA Awards, when Amelia posted a collection of photos of the two on TikTok. Not much else is known about their romance, as they have kept details about how they met and how their relationship began largely private. Although, it is known and they adopted a dog named Otis together.

“It’s definitely one of the first kind of major awards I’ve won, so really, really excited about it for sure,” he also told the outlet of his milestone win ahead of the show.
