Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney & More Join CMT Music Awards Performance Lineup
The upcoming CMT Music Awards are continuing to heat up.
Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Old Dominion and Parker McCollum + Brittney Spencer have joined the star-studded performance lineup for the fan-voted awards show, which will take over the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on April 7. The event relocated to Texas last year, moving from its longtime home in Nashville.
Johnson is one of this year’s top nominees, with three nods: video of the year and male video of the year for “The Painter,” as well as CMT performance of the year for “Human” (from 2023 CMT Music Awards). Moroney is also a top nominee, as she’s up for female video of the year and CMT digital-first performance of the year for “I’m Not Pretty,” as well as collaborative video of the year for her Old Dominion collaboration, “Can’t Break Up Now.” In addition to their nomination with Moroney, Old Dominion is also up for best video by a duo or group for “Memory Lane.”
The new group join previously announced performers Bailey Zimmeran, Jelly Roll, Jordan Davis, host Kelsea Ballerini, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, NEEDTOBREATHE, Sam Hunt and Trisha Yearwood. It was recently announced that Yearwood will be receiving the inaugural June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award at this year’s ceremony, an honor that recognizes an artist, duo/group or industry veteran who has demonstrated an exceptional dedication to community and their fellow artists.
Voting is currently open at vote.cmt.com, through April 1, while voting for the video of the year honor, presented by Hilton, will remain active into the show. The 2024 CMT Music Awards will air on CBS and stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
