Programming Revealed For 2nd Annual CMT Music Awards Week

March 17, 2023/by Lorie Hollabaugh

CMT has announced a slew of specials slated for the second annual CMT Music Awards Week March 27-April 2.

The stacked week of original programming includes the debut of a brand-new series CMT Defining, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of CMT Next Women of Country, on March 30. CMT Defining will highlight a featured female artist as they walk filmmakers through their personal and professional past, present and future with a goal of defining who they are as an artist. Next Women of Country alum Carly Pearce will kick off the series, sharing a one-of-a-kind look back at her career and the milestones that shaped it, from her arrival in Nashville over a decade ago, to her rise to stardom and latest critically-acclaimed album, 29: Written In Stone.

CMT’S Cody Alan and Carissa Culiner are set to host the CMT Music Awards Nominee Special, a half-hour celebration featuring the star-packed list of CMT Awards nominees, on March 27.

The week will also consist of two new CMT Storytellers spotlighting Kane Brown, on March 28, and Dierks Bentley, on March 29, as they share never-before-heard stories about how their hits came to be.

 The CMT Music Awards will then return to CMT on April 2 at 7 p.m. CT, followed by the inaugural CBS broadcast of the CMT Music Awards Extended Cut, featuring 30 extra minutes of bonus content and never-before-seen performances on April 6 at 7 p.m. CT.
