Hosted right here in Austin, Texas: See all the big winners of the CMT Awards!

On Sunday April 3rd in Austin’s Moody Center, fans celebrated country music with the CMT (Country Music Television) Music Awards! This fan-voted celebratory event was hosted by Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown, who were both nominees and performers during the broadcast. At the end of the night, Kane and his spouse Katelyn Brown made history by becoming the first husband-and-wife duo to win the coveted video of the year award for their 2022 song “Thank God,” marking the first time each of them has won in the category.

In addition to Kane and Katelyn’s win, rapper and country singer Jelly Roll had a huge night, taking home three awards, including male breakthrough video of the year. The ceremony featured performances by renowned artists such as Gwen Stefani, Carrie Underwood, LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban, and Alanis Morissette, who made her CMT debut with a performance that celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the “CMT Next Women of Country.”

 

 

The event also recognized the accomplishments of country music icon Shania Twain, who received the 2023 “CMT Equal Play Award,” and paid tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lynyrd Skynyrd with performances by Gary Clark Jr & supporting artists. Despite being the all-time winner with 25 total wins, Carrie Underwood did not take home any trophies on Sunday.
