The 2022 CMT Music Awards have invited a singing superstar and Marvel superhero to oversee this year’s ceremony: Kelsey Ballerini and Anthony Mackie will co-host the event, which will be streamed live from Nashville on Monday, April 11 at 8:00 pm ET (and on PT with tape delay) on CBS.
This will be the first time Mackie has hosted the awards show (which marks his first broadcast on CBS), with Ballerini returning as host for the second year in a row. “I had the pleasure of performing at last year’s CMT Music Awards and received the warmest welcome from the country music community and the City of Nashville,” Mackie said in a statement. “I can’t wait to be back in Music City to host this year’s awards ceremony with the amazing Kelsey Ballerini.”
An extended version of the ceremony featuring 30 minutes of new performances and additional bonus content will air on Friday, April 15 at 8:00 pm on CMT.
