2024 CMT Music Awards
The 2024 CMT Music Awards took center stage on Sunday night, and the air was electric with twangy tunes, cowboy hats, and a whole lot of southern charm. As the sun dipped below the Texas horizon, country music’s finest gathered at Austin’s Moody Center to celebrate their genre in all its boot-stomping glory.
Red Carpet Glamour and Who’s Who
The red carpet kicked off at 7 p.m. ET, an hour before the main event. Celebrities, performers, and industry insiders strutted their stuff, dazzling us with sequins, denim, and cowboy boots. Hosted by the dynamic trio of Cody Alan, Carissa Culinar, and Marley Sherwood, the red-carpet coverage on CMT was a delightful blend of glitz, gossip, and genuine excitement.

Kelsea Ballerini Takes the Reins
Our host for the evening? The incomparable Kelsea Ballerini! This year, she’s flying solo as the show’s emcee. No more sharing the spotlight—just pure Kelsea magic. In an interview on CBS Mornings, she said, “This year, I just want to have fun. I think hosting solo for the fourth year, I know kind of the ropes. I’m excited to just be present and enjoy the celebration of country music.”
