He wore the chains. She wore the glow. But it was their bond that stole the show. Machine Gun Kelly lit up the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards not just with his music. But with his most personal plus-one yet. His 15-year-old daughter, Casie. On June 21, the father-daughter duo walked the red carpet in style. He rocked a black jumpsuit. She floated beside him in lavender. But the real standout? Their connection.
By the third question into their MTV interview, the spotlight had quietly shifted. Casie wasn’t just there as a guest. She was his biggest cheerleader. When asked about Kelly’s upcoming album Lost Americana, she didn’t hesitate. “I think it’s so, so good,” she said with conviction. Her eyes lit up. “Everybody is going to love it. It’s different, but still familiar. It just gives you different tastes.” MGK leaned in, laughing:l, “Yeah, we mob to it in the car. Windows down, volume up.” She nodded. “Yeah, good summer album.”

Behind the scenes, the affection only deepened. In one video he posted, Casie is caught mid-laugh, tossing her hair, goofing off while getting ready. MGK captioned it simply,“I’m just the dad.” The background track? His own song, Cliché. But this moment wasn’t staged. It was real. It was soft. And it revealed the side of MGK fans rarely see.
Currently wondering why neither of my parents were superstars who could bring me on the #KCA orange carpet with them 😭

Then came the main stage. Casie took the mic. Not as a shy teenager, but as a confident intro. “Hey, I’m Casie and I know no one really wants their parents at the party,” she said with a grin. Then, turning to her dad, she said, “But you, you’re pretty cool. Give it up for my dad, MGK!” It was quick. Sweet. Unforgettable. MGK later posted, “What an honor to have my daughter do this,” adding a teary-eyed emoji. She didn’t just present him. She crowned him.
The next day, Kelly doubled down on the memories. He shared a slideshow of their night. Grinning after being slimed, laughing side by side, throwback photos from past awards. But the mood was clear. This wasn’t just about music or fame. For MGK, it was about the only title he seemed to truly care about that night: being Casie’s dad.
