About the CMT Awards
The CMT Awards is the only country music awards show that relies on votes entirely made by fans. It’s also the only one to focus exclusively on video performances and audio recordings in the country music genre. Not only will it be live broadcasted on CBS for the first time, but it will also have the Judds reuniting onstage for their first televised performance in more than 20 years.
Surprise!!! Mom & I are reuniting as @juddsofficial on the @CMT Awards stage with a special performance of “Love Can Build a Bridge” for YOU, the fans! Tune in to CBS on April 11 at 8/7c to see who wears more rhinestones. ✨ #CMTawards pic.twitter.com/pRVj570Q7a
