NASHVILLE, TN — (June 9, 2021) — The fans have spoken and winners have been revealed as the biggest names in music, film, television and sports gathered together in Nashville tonight for the 2021 “CMT Music Awards.” Hosted by Kelsea Ballerini + Kane Brown, the live show from Bridgestone Arena featured epic performances, the most-ever collaborations, and two world premieres as part of country music’s only entirely fan-voted awards show.

Both hosts walked away winners. Kane Brown reclaimed the winner’s podium for “Male Video of the Year,” two years after he last won the category (2019), and also won “Collaborative Video of the Year” with Chris Young, making these his third and fourth career CMT Music Award wins.  Meanwhile, Kelsea Ballerini won her very first CMT Music Award for “CMT Performance of the Year” for her performance from last year’s awards show with Halsey for “The Other Girl.”
