CMT unveiled the first round of performers for the 2021 CMT Music Awards airing Wednesday, June 9 at 7 p.m. CST on CMT, MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount Network and TV Land.

The first slate of performers at this year’s show include, Brothers Osborne and Dierks Bentley; Chris Stapleton; Luke Combs; Maren Morris and JP Saxe; Mickey Guyton and Gladys Knight; and Miranda Lambert, Jack Ingram, and Jon Randall. Additional performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

The nominees for this year’s CMT Music Awards were previously unveiled, with female powerhouses Morris and Lambert competing for the most accolades with four nods each. Hosts Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown join Little Big Town and Guyton with three nominations.

This year, 13 artists received first-time nominations including Guyton, Dylan Scott, Hailey Whitters, HARDY, Lainey Wilson, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Niko Moon, Noah Cyrus, Parmalee, Ryan Hurd, Tyler Hubbard and Willie Jones.

Carrie Underwood remains the most decorated artist in CMT history with a total of 22 wins and will compete for two trophies, nominated for her collaboration with John Legend.
