Zach Bryan, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll Lead 2024 CMT Music Awards Nominations

Do you love country music and want to have your say about who should win awards? Fan voting is open now for all 2024 CMT Music Awards categories – you can go here to vote.

This year, Zach Bryan, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, and Kelsea Ballerini lead the pack with multiple nominations at the CMT Music Awards, with Ballerini also hosting duties. The award show returns to Austin’s Moody Centre on Sunday, 7 April, and will be broadcast live on CBS, CMT and other Paramount Global networks.

Jelly Roll, Wilson, Ballerini, Megan Moroney, and Cody Johnson are up for three awards each, while Zach Bryan is nominated for his first-ever CMT Music Awards despite not releasing any music videos for his 2023 self-titled album. Nine Ball, from his Boys Of Faith EP, which stars actor Matthew McConaughey in the music video, and Oklahoma Smokeshow, from his 2022 Summertime Blues EP, are up for two awards.

Bryan isn’t the only first-time nominee; Tyler Childers, Amber Riley, Tigirlily Gold, and others are also up for their first-ever CMT Music Awards.

The coveted Video of the Year award has 16 nominees, with the category shrinking to six on 1 April (following initial fan votes), and the top three nominees announced the day before the awards take place.

Check out the complete list of nominees below.
