Kelsea Ballerini is making her return to host the 2024 CMT Music Awards for the fourth time, but she will be flying solo this go round.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be back for my fourth year with my CMT family to host this year’s CMT Music Awards in Austin, Texas,” Ballerini said in a press release in February. “Hosting an awards show that celebrates the music that the fans love most has been an honor, and I know this year will be another unforgettable night.”
Ballerini, who’s also set to perform, previously hosted the fan-voted awards show alongside several different cohosts, including Kane Brown and Anthony Mackie.
Ballerini and four other musicians — Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson and Megan Moroney — have the most nominations this year with three each.
