Trisha Yearwood was awarded CMT's new June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award, making history as the first artist to be honored by CMT for her devotion to giving back. Some of Yearwood's philanthropic endeavors include working with Habitat for Humanity efforts like the Carter Work Project and National Women Build Week.

Sammy Hagar took the stage wearing a Toby Keith t-shirt. Keith was a dear friend of Hagar's—the two spent a lot of time in Cabo San Lucas singing and partying at Hagar's bar. "It’s hard to get thrown out of your own bar and we managed to do that," he told the crowd. Hagar performed a hearty cover of Keith's song "I Love This Bar," one he used to sing with Keith in Cabo. Lainey Wilson finished out the tribute with song "How Do You Like Me Now?," which had the audience singing along again.

🎵CMT MUSIC AWARDS WINNERS LIST:  HERE

CMT Music Awards winners are determined entirely by fan vote, and voting for the video of the year award remained open throughout Sunday night's show. There were originally 16 nominees announced for video of the year, but on April 1 the field was whittled down to six, based on voting. The final three nominees — Johnson, Jelly Roll and Ballerini — were announced on the day of the show.

The show was once again held in Austin, Texas, at the Moody Center. It was broadcast on CBS television stations and streamed live on Paramount+.
