The 2024 CMT Music Awards are gearing up for an exciting telecast with a five-way tie for the most nominations. Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, and the show's host, Kelsea Ballerini, have each received three nods going into the event. The awards ceremony is set to take place at Austin's Moody Center on April 7.
One of the highlights of the CMT Awards is the video of the year category, which features a competitive lineup of 16 candidates. The initial round of voting will narrow down the nominees to six on April 1, and eventually to three top contenders on the show day through further voting.
Among the nominees for video of the year are Ashley McBryde, Brandy Clark featuring Brandi Carlile, Brothers Osborne, Darius Rucker, Hardy, Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis, Kacey Musgraves, Mickey Guyton featuring Kane Brown, Parmalee, Tyler Childers, and Zach Bryan.
Megan Moroney, a rising artist, stands out as the only triple-nominee not in the video of the year category. Her nominations for female video of the year, collaborative video of the year, and CMT digital-first performance of the year showcase her talent and recognition in the industry.
Jelly Roll, known for his hit 'Need a Favor,' has secured nominations for video of the year, male video of the year, and CMT performance of the year. Kelsea Ballerini and Lainey Wilson also have multiple nominations across different categories, adding to the diversity of talent at the awards.
The 2024 CMT Music Awards will feature 14 first-time nominees, bringing fresh faces and talent to the forefront of the country music scene. The event is scheduled to air live on CMT on April 7 at 8 p.m. EST, with a tape-delayed broadcast for the west coast. Viewers can also stream the show live or on-demand on Paramount+.
With an esteemed lineup of nominees and a dynamic production team, the 2024 CMT Music Awards promise to be a memorable celebration of country music talent and creativity.
