April 23, 2012/in Featured /by Sarah Skates

Carrie Underwood is the leading nominee for the 2012 CMT Music Awards, scoring nods in five categories. Miranda Lambert earned four nominations—two for her solo work and two as a member of first-time nominees Pistol Annies.

Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift, The Civil Wars and Thompson Square secured three nominations each.

The candidates were announced this morning (4/23) on NBC’s Today show by host Hoda Kotb, guest co-host Willie Geist, and Little Big Town, who received a nomination in the CMT Performance of the Year category for their version of Coldplay’s “Fix You” from the concert special, Music Builds: The CMT Disaster Relief Concert.

Fans can vote now through June 4 to determine the winners. Voting is online at CMT.com, and available on mobile devices at CMT Mobile., and the CMT Insider app for iPhone, iPad or Android.

The five nominees for Video of the Year will be announced at the beginning of the live show and fans can then vote at CMT.com, CMT mobile, on the CMT Insider app and via text message throughout the live telecast (ET/CT only) to determine the night’s big winner.
