“I am beyond excited, and maybe a little nervous, to host an awards show for the very first time,” McBryde told CMT. “Luckily, it’s not all about me — it’s about celebrating badass music videos and the brilliant men and women that help us create them. I’ve loved watching and being part of this event in the past and I think the fans are really going to enjoy what we have planned for them. It’s going to be a blast!”
In addition to all the performances, tonight will also be a big night for Jennifer Nettles, who will be awarded with the first ever CMT Equal Play Award. The award honors her “ongoing advocacy for women and for all diverse voices in the music industry, as she works to have more female voices heard on country music radio stations, to reach a point where men and women are represented equally,” CMT reports.
This year’s award show will feature a slew of pre-taped performances from locations primarily in and around Nashville, including Bicentennial Park downtown and Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee.
