CMT has revealed the Next Women of Country Class of 2024. For 11 years, the Next Women of Country program has worked to promote female country artists and fight systemic gender disparity within the country music.

The Class of 2024 includes Anne Wilson, Denitia, Ella Langley, Emily Ann Roberts, HunterGirl, Karley Scott Collins, Kylie Frey, Lauren Watkins, Madeline Merlo, Mae Estes, Tanner Adell, The Castellows, Tigirlily Gold and Twinnie.

In a ceremony hosted in Nashville today (Jan. 23), CMT SVP of Music & Talent Leslie Fram revealed the new artist class alongside Kimberly Perry and Colbie Caillat. Perry and Caillat will serve as mentors to this year’s class.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to welcome this latest group of artists to CMT’s Next Women of Country,” says Fram. “For the past 10 years, this franchise has represented the best and brightest new talent in all of country music and this year is no exception. From the UK and Canada to California and the deep South, these women all have their own unique stories to tell and we can’t wait to introduce them to CMT audiences in creative and meaningful ways.”

Additionally for 2024, CMT will start a year-long partnership with Song Suffragettes, an all female singer-songwriter collective. The announcement was made on stage by Fram and Song Suffragettes leader Todd Cassetty. The partnership will aim to pursue industry education opportunities together to continue advancing and supporting women country music artists. To celebrate the partnership, CMT and Song Suffragettes will host a showcase on Feb. 27 at City Winery Nashville.

CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown will also air a three-hour special episode that honors the 2024 class. The special will air on CMT on Feb. 10.

With the addition of the 2024 class, the program now has a total of 125 artists. Many alumni of the program have made a big impact in the country music scene, including Ashley McBryde, Brittney Spencer, Carly Pearce, Gabby Barrett, Ingrid Andress, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Mickey Guyton, Tenille Arts and many more.
