Raiders’ Derek Carr presents Kelsea Ballerini at ACM Awards, and gives shout out to Vegas fans

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was a bit busy Sunday, and it wasn’t because of a football game.

The former Fresno State star was in Las Vegas at the 2017 Academy of Country Music Awards with wife, Heather, at T-Mobile Arena.

Carr, 26, was on stage and gave Oakland and Las Vegas a shoutout before introducing Kelsea Ballerini.

“I’m excited to meet our new friends here in Las Vegas,” said Carr, to which the crowd erupted in cheers.

Last month, NFL owners voted 31-1 to allow the Oakland Raiders to move to a new stadium in Las Vegas.
