The 23rd edition of the CMT Music Awards was held at the Moody Centre in Austin, Texas on the glorious evening of April 7 (local time). Kelsea Ballerini returned to take over the hosting duties for the fourth time consecutively.
The awards, which stand as the sole country music awards show that is entirely determined by fan votes, was one star-studded gala. Many stars like Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Lainey Wilson, Keith Urban, Sam Hunt, and Jelly Roll among many others took the stage to mesmerize audiences with their brilliant performances.
Brooks & Dunn, Lainey Wilson, and Sammy Hagar also performed a tribute to the late CMT Award winner and country music icon, Toby Keith, who passed away on February 5 of this year.
As far as nominees are concerned, they were announced on March 13, 2024. Kelsea Ballerini, Megan Moroney, Cody Johnson, and Jelly Roll entered the night with the highest number of nominations, each receiving three nods.
