This woman is sneaking alcohol into the 2023 ACM Awards, and it's not in her purse. Can you find it?

Pillbox Patti is songwriter Nicolette Hayford, best known for Ashley McBryde's "One Night Standards." In this pic from the ACMs red carpet, she's taking a page from Miranda Lambert's playbook. Remember when the Entertainer of the Year snuck drinks into the CMA Awards?

Wearing a hot pink sequined gown for the ACMs in Frisco, Texas, Pillbox Patti got creative. She didn't bring a cooler like Lambert, but let's be honest — who else but Ran has that kind of bravado?
