Another image showed the singer napping on her lover's lap at the back of the car. Stokes appeared standing on a dark alley in another slide as he blended with the dark aesthetic of the area.

Ballerini's romantic slides rounded up nicely with a silhouette of the both of them on a sandy path at night. From the image, the couple rocked matching cowboy hats as the singer leaned on her boyfriend, her left leg raised in an iconic pose.

In capturing the essence of their relationship, the country-pop singer wrote, "two years of catching each other in countless cities, perfecting a chimichurri steak, and creating a world that revolves around dogs. love you so, teammate."

Since her music career picked up in 2014, The Blast reported that the singer confessed about trying to cope with the attention she gets from the public. However, the songwriter has chosen to take things one day at a time, not forgetting to look after herself along the way.

"I've done this for a decade. I've done the work. But the eyeballs on the rest of my life is new, so I'm giving myself a lot of grace," she shared. Her fame has also helped her discover new, interesting things about herself in recent years, including embracing her growth into womanhood. In her words:

"I always thought of myself as one thing, which was a glittery, palatable blonde that sings country music. I've realized over the last few years, as I've woken up to myself, and really stepped into my womanhood, that I'm really open to discovering more of myself. I'm in such a season of play right now."

Part of discovering herself is deciding not to be coy about whatever makes her happy. This also includes her relationship with Stokes, which, according to her, "when you're with someone you feel secure with and that you're proud to be with, why not share it?"
