Alison Victoria stood out from the crowd at the ACM Awards on May 17, 2026, and not just because she’s an HGTV star versus a country star.
The popular interior designer turned heads in a bold black outfit that paired a bodysuit with sheer, lace pants. Victoria played up the look for photographers, cheekily turning around to show off her, ahem, assets, and flirting with her longtime beau, filmmaker Brandt Andersen.
Alison Victoria & Brandt Anderson Coordinated Their Looks
GettyThe ACM Awards, hosted by Shania Twain, were held in Las Vegas, where Victoria lives and is filming the just-announced second season of “Sin City Rehab,” a new iteration of her long-running show, “Windy City Rehab.”
She attended with Andersen, and the couple coordinated their black outfits with turquoise jewelry; she wore a stunning statement necklace, and he wore a bolo tie with a giant oval turquoise stone. After meeting at a wellness retreat, the duo went Instagram official in June 2024, sharing multiple photos from the Daytime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.
Fans Swoon Over Alison Victoria’s ACM Look

Another exclaimed, “This Couple is 🔥- oh and that LOOK ON YOU 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”
“My hero! Why u so amazing?” another fan asked, and someone else declared, “Absolutely stunning ❤️🔥”
Alison Victoria Ran Into Former ‘Battle on the Beach’ Contestants at the ACM Awards
Backstage at the ACM Awards, Victoria ran into former “Battle on the Beach” season four contestants Kristin Smith and Chyenne Overturf-Smith, who posted pics from their epic night, including one with Victoria.
In the comment section of Victoria’s post, Smith wrote, “So fun running into you. Looking good, fam 😍”
Victoria starred on four seasons of “Battle on the Beach,” but announced on her podcast in 2025 that it was one of multiple shows HGTV had “canceled.” However, the network announced in early May that the show is returning this summer — but without Victoria or her bestie, Taniya Nayak.
After the announcement, Victoria admitted that she thinks her spilling the details on the show was to blame for her being booted from the series.
“It’s just conversation. I don’t have notes,” she told The Daily Mail. “I should be more prepared, but I’m not and she and I were just talking about different shows and I had said that ‘Battle on the Beach’ was canceled.”
“Now, that word should not have been used,” she continued. “I should’ve said ‘not renewed.’ That’s the language that I should have used.”
“We started that show,” Victoria told the outlet. “No one will ever take that away from us. And we loved that show and we just had fun,” Alison told the outlet gracefully. “We made great television, and now it’s time to pass the torch and see what they’ve got. So only time will tell… I hope that the ratings are amazing.”
