The 2022 CMT Music Awards, the 56th edition of the awards ceremony (dating back to its origins as the Music City News Awards in 1967), are to be held in Nashville, Tennessee on April 11, 2022, at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium and locations in and around Music City.[1][2][3] The Awards, which have aired on CMT since 2002, will have its "global premiere" exclusively on CBS in 2022.[4] The ceremony will be hosted by CMT winner Kelsea Ballerini and actor Anthony Mackie. This is Ballerini's second time hosting.[5]
Background[]
The CMT Music Awards is country music's only entirely fan-voted awards show. Following the long-time CBS produced Academy of Country Music Awards departed from the network, ViacomCBS announced that the live televised ceremony would move to CBS from CMT. While CBS will carry the award show live, CMT will have week-long special programming and events capped by exclusive "director’s cut" airing of the ceremony on CMT.[6]
Video of the Year[]
Best video of the year; awarded to the artist (male, female, group/duo or collaboration). Top nominees, from the first round of voting, will be announced on April 4. Final nominees, from the second round of voting, will be announced on show day, April 11. Final voting will be determined via social media and announced as the final category during the live show.[7]
