The biggest names in country music returned to Nashville on June 6th to attend the CMT Music Awards!
Little Big Town was the host for the special event, making it their first time ever hosting a major award show. This year, they did not come to disappoint, surprising us with nominees such as Justin Timberlake and Ludacris. Timberlake's collaboration with Chris Stapleton in "Say Something" and Ludacris' feature in the hit song "The Champion" with Carrie Underwood got them both in the running for Video of the Year.
The winners were selected, of course, by the fans who took the time and voted on CMT.com. Below, you will find a list of nominees within each category with the winners in bold print:
