CMT Music Awards Score Big Increase in TV Ratings With CBS Move
The CMT Music Awards scored huge year to year ratings increases on Monday — no surprise, since the show moved from its namesake cable outlet to broadcaster CBS.

6 Best Moments From the 2022 CMT Awards
More than two years into the pandemic, we should all be used to curveballs by now, but Monday night’s (April 11) CMT Awards got a lot thrown at them at the last minute: Co-host Kelsea Ballerini pulled out as on-site co-host Monday morning show after testing positive for COVID-19, while live outdoor performers had to deal with a raging rainstorm.

The 2022 CMT Music Awards red carpet is open, drawing in some of the biggest names in country music. The 2022 CMT Music Awards, taking place at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium on Monday (April 11) night, made headlines well before the country awards show even got underway when Kelsea Ballerini – co-hosting alongside Anthony Mackie and Kane Brown – revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 and would have to pitch in remotely. “I cannot be there in person anymore and I am devastated. I am gutted,” Ballerini said. “But the good news is that I’m feeling a lot better and the incredible CMT family and my team have brought part of the CMT set to my house, to my little bubble, and set it up to where I can still host and perform.” Regardless, it’s a big night for the genre.

7 Can’t-Miss Moments from the 2021 CMT Awards

Here are seven unranked can’t miss moments: Chris Stapleton, “Arkansas”Performing from a huge stage set up Bonaroo farm —Stapleroo or Chrisapalooza anyone?— Stapleton channeled Bob Seger’s “Katmandu” with this driving tune about road tripping (and escaping) from current album, Starting Over. Stapleton was in peak growl form, with wife Morgane sounding great as ever on backing vocals. As the lyrics state, it looked like Stapleton was “havin’ so much fun that it’s probably a little bit against the law.” If this one didn’t make you miss live concerts, nothing will. Jack Ingram, Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall, “Tequila Does”Sitting around a campfi...
