It is time to watch the CMT Music Awards 2022 live stream, as the fans have spoken and the results are incoming. Some of country music's biggest stars will hit the stage, including Jason Aldean, Bryan Adams, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Little Big Town, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban.
The 2022 CMT Music Awards ceremony is undergoing some big changes. The broadcast has moved to a new channel (CBS), is taking place a few months earlier than usual and has moved to a new location — Nashville's historic Municipal Auditorium.
The 2022 CMT Music Awards are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET tonight (April 11) on CBS and Paramount Plus.
The ceremony was set to be hosted by Marvel star Anthony Mackie and country superstar Kelsea Ballerini. However, Ballerini recently tested positive for COVID-19 and will co-host and perform remotely from home.
Kane Brown, who emceed last year's CMT Awards with Ballerini, will join Mackie on-stage. Brown leads nominees with four nods, including Video of the Year for “One Mississippi.”
This year's awards will feature the first televised performance in over two decades from legendary duo The Judd. Other can't-miss collaborations include Aldean and Adams, Morris and Ryan Hurd, Thomas Rhett and Riley Green, and Jimmie Allen with Little Big Town and Monica.
Presenters include Kacey Musgraves, LeAnn Rimes, Joel McHale, Rob Corddry, Taylor Lautner, Gayle King and Queer Eyes stars Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Tan France and Antoni Porowski.
