KEY POINTS

  • The daddy-daughter duo stole the show in matching black outfits
  • The 12-year-old proudly watched her father accept the award for Favorite Rock Artist
  • MGK's girlfriend, Megan Fox, couldn't make it as she was filming a movie

Machine Gun Kelly walked hand-in-hand at the 2021 American Music Awards with a very special date—his young daughter. The rapper, 31, attended the award show Sunday with his 12-year-old daughter, Casie Colson Baker, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon.

MGK, whose actual name is Colson Baker, has been an absolute treat for cameras during his previous red-carpet appearances with his girlfriend, Megan Fox, by his side. But this time, he had Casie accompanying him and cheering him on as he won an award that night, according to Page Six.

It was at the 2020 AMAs when Kelly and Fox, 35, made their red-carpet debut in November. Now for the second time in a row, the "Papercuts" singer made a statement at this year's AMAs by sharing an adorable father-daughter moment on the red carpet.

Casie told ET she was having fun with her "cool dad." MGK also said Fox could not make it for the show because she was filming a movie.

The father-daughter duo, dressed to the nines in matching black outfits, also locked their pinkies and kissed their thumbs in a sweet handshake before walking off.

Apart from winning fans with the cutest daddy-daughter moment on the 2021 AMAs red carpet, MGK also won the award for Favorite Rock Artist at the award show. The rapper accepted the award while his daughter proudly watched from the crowd.

The "Bloody Valentine" singer said the award was not initially meant to be televised but the plan changed after "fans spoke very loudly."

"I want to accept this for all the aspiring musicians, the one who desires to play an instrument, wants to rap, wants to sing, not just the rock artists but all the artists who are rockstars," Kelly said as he accepted the award.

"Lastly, I just wanna say this. I read a headline that said the age of the rockstar is dead, but uh, looks pretty alive to me!" the musician said before walking offstage with his award in hand.

MGK also took the stage at the 2021 AMAs that night to present the award for New Artist of The Year.
