2020 CMT Music Awards Winners — Full List
Ashley McBryde, Luke Combs and more lead the list of 2020 CMT Music Awards nominees but someone else was the very first winner.
Three time nominee Dan + Shay took Duo Video of the Year for "I Should Probably Go To Bed," their artistic triumph, filmed during the pandemic. The pair appeared remotely to thank fans, CMT and their teams for the win.
McBryde, Combs, Sam Hunt, Kelsea Ballerini, and Thomas Rhett all earned three nominations at the 2020 CMT Music Awards (Oct. 21), though Combs and Rhett each earned a fourth nod when CMT announced the Quarantine Video of the Year nominees on Friday (Oct. 16). Ten artists — including Tanya Tucker — are first-time nominees, while the Chicks have their first nod at the show since 2007.
The CMT Music Awards are a fan-voted show. Nominees in each category are listed below, and the list will be updated as winners are announced throughout the night.
McBryde, Kane Brown and actor Sarah Hyland are co-hosting the 2020 CMT Music Awards, while Sam Hunt, Shania Twain, Gabby Barrett, Little Big Town, Riley Green and more are performing during the event. (Performances have been pre-taped, but the hosts will be live with winners.) Taylor Swift, Brandi Carlile, Kelly Clarkson, Tanya Tucker and others will serve as presenter.
