CMT Music Awards 2023 live stream: preview

Since 1967, the CMT Music Awards – under some name or another – has defined the landscape of modern country music.

As the only fan-voted award show in country, taking home one of the fabled hexagonal trophies is one of the highest honors, and as such, the event draws every big name in the business to Austin, Texas.

Hosted again by Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown, throughout the night we’ll see a truckload of A-listers performing, including Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Alanis Morissette, Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, Carly Pearce, Keith Urban, and tons more.  There are nine prestigious awards to hand out, including the newly separate Male and Female Breakthrough categories, and the nominee list is a diverse pool of incredible talent. Lainey Wilson leads the way as a real favorite with a hefty four nominations, including her collaboration with HARDY on “Wait in the Truck”, while Carrie Underwood tallies two – will she add to her record-breaking 25 wins this year?

Newcomer Jelly Roll has burst onto the scene with three nominations, matching Cody Johnson and co-host Kane Brown. For any discerning country fan, this is not a night to be missed. Here’s exactly how to watch the CMT Music Awards in the US, and from anywhere else in the world by using a VPN.
