Billboard rounds up the eight best moments from the 2023 CMTawards. 👏
Kelsea Ballerini performs onstage with Olivia Lux, Kennedy Davenport, Jan Sport and Manila Luzon at the 2023 CMT Music Awards held at Moody Center on April 2, 2023 in Austin, Texas.The 2023 CMT Music Awards went on the road this year, airing for the first time from Austin, Texas on Sunday night .
The show, which aired live on CBS for the second year in a row after the ACM Awards decamped to Amazon’s Prime Video, opened cold with co-host Kelsea Ballerini addressing the mass shooting at Nashville’s Covenant School last week that left six dead and Music City reeling. The somber moment included Ballerini recalling her own experience in 2008 watching a classmate die from a shooting when she was in high school and calling for “real action.
Shania Twain, introduced by Megan Thee Stallion, accepted the CMT Equal Play award, calling for the country industry to “do our part to close the gap and provide an equal workspace for all talent. Let’s ensure that all our fellow artists get equal play, regardless of gender, age or race.” And the show tried to do just that, relying heavily on girl power throughout the evening.
The evening’s performances heavily relied on collaborations featuring country artists and rock acts performing the latter’s 90s hits. It was a gambit that worked, in large part because many of the rock fans of the ’90s are now country listeners.Image Credit: Kempin/GI
