CMT Music Awards set for April 2 – Find out the first performer!

For the first time ever, the CMT Music Awards are taking the show to Austin, Texas! You can catch it on CBS or live stream on demand from Paramount +.  The show is set to air on Sunday, April 2, live from the Moody Center, and some familiar faces are returning.  

Kelsea Ballerini will return as co-host in 2023, this marks her third time hosting the show. Kelsea made a surprise appearance at Carrie Underwood’s concert at the Moody Center to make the announcement. Carrie holds the title as the winningest artist in CMT history, with a total of 25 trophies, so it was only fitting that Carrie herself will be performing at the 2023 award show.  

In the coming months, we’ll find out who else is scheduled to perform, plus all the nominees. Be sure to follow CMT on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And of course, 101 Country WBDC will have all the latest news on the 2023 CMT Music Awards.
