Country music video stars take center stage Monday in Music City with the return of the CMT Music Awards.
First airing on CBS, the fan-voted program takes place at the Municipal Auditorium in downtown Nashville. Anthony Mackie (aka Captain America) co-hosts the show with a home help from Kelsea Ballerini, who tested positive for COVID-19 hours before the show. Kane Brown, the night’s most nominated artist, will appear on Monday night alongside Mackie as on-site co-host.
Music begins at 7:00 p.m. with performances from Miranda Lambert, Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean with Bryan Adams, a Judds reunion and more.
