The CMT Music Awards are going down on April 11 in Nashville, and Kelsea Ballerini and Anthony Mackie will be hosting this year’s awards show.
This year marks Kelsea’s second turn as CMT host after hosting the 2021 awards show.
“I’m thrilled to be returning as host at this year’s CMT Awards with Anthony Mackie! This award show is always a special one, as it revolves around the fans and celebrates their favorite artists,” she said in a statement included in a Thursday CMT press release.
Mackie said, “I had the pleasure of presenting at last year’s CMT Music Awards and received the warmest welcome from the country music community and the city of Nashville.”
Nominees for this year’s CMT Music Awards will be revealed March 16, the same day fan voting opens up at vote.cmt.com.
This year, CMT will share some bonus content from the awards show with the CMT Music Awards Extended Cut, which will include 30 minutes of “new performances and extra bonus content” airing April 15 only on CMT.
The 2022 CMTs will air live Monday, April 11 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. The CMTs will also be available to stream live on Paramount+.
