CMT Awards 2023: List of winners and nominees
At the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the CMT (Country Music Television) Music Awards were presented on Sunday.
Kane Brown and Kelsea Ballerini, who were both nominees this year and performed during the show, served as the event’s hosts, chosen by the audience.
At the conclusion of the evening, Kane and his wife Katelyn Brown made history by becoming the first husband-and-wife team to win the coveted video of the year award for their song “Thank God.” This was also the first time that each of them had won in the category.
Jelly Roll, a rapper and country music performer, received three awards on Sunday, including male breakthrough video of the year.
Gwen Stefani, Carrie Underwood, LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban, and Alanis Morissette all gave performances during the ceremony. Alanis Morissette also made her CMT debut with a performance that commemorated the 10-year anniversary of the “CMT Next Ladies of Country.”
The 2023 “CMT Equal Play Award” was presented to country music legend Shania Twain, and tribute performances by other musicians were given in honor of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Despite not receiving any awards on Sunday, Underwood is still the all-time CMT Awards champion with 25 victories.
