CMT Music Awards Show To Showcase Rising Country Music Stars

Tom and Dick Smothers accept award at 3rd annual TV Land Awards show.

Tonight's CMT Music Awards show is set to showcase a diverse lineup of country music talent, ranging from emerging stars to iconic figures of the genre. The event will feature performances by rising artists like Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and TikTok sensation Dasha, alongside tributes to '90s country icons Trisha Yearwood and Toby Keith.

Executive producers have carefully curated the lineup to strike a balance between honoring the past and celebrating the future of country music. Little Big Town and Sugarland will reunite for a special performance, while Bailey Zimmerman and Parker McCollum are expected to deliver standout moments on stage.

Jelly Roll, who gained widespread recognition following his performance at last year's CMT Awards, is set to close the show with a high-energy performance of 'Halfway to Hell.' Dasha, known for her viral hit 'Austin,' will make her prime-time debut, showcasing her skyrocketing popularity.

The show will also feature a tribute to Toby Keith, with Brooks and Dunn, Sammy Hagar, and Lainey Wilson performing some of his biggest hits. Additionally, a special program on CMT will highlight Keith's contributions to the channel over the years.

With a mix of established stars and up-and-coming talent, the 2024 CMT Music Awards promise to be a memorable celebration of country music's past, present, and future.
