JASON ADEAN, CARRIE UNDERWOOD and CODY JOHNSON all enjoyed a winning night at the 2022 CMT MUSIC AWARDS, which aired live from downtown NASHVILLE last night (4/11) on CBS and PARAMOUNT+. ALDEAN and UNDERWOOD shared two trophies for their duet, “If I Didn’t Love You,” including the night’s biggest prize, Video of the Year, as well as Collaborative Video of the Year.

ALDEAN commented, “17 years in the game, and this is the first time I’ve ever won video of the year.” That’s not the case for UNDERWOOD, who extended her lead this year as the most awarded artist in the show’s history with 25 total wins to date, including some previous victories in the Video of the Year category.

GEORGE STRAIT won his first ever CMT Award, which is surprising given the length and legend of his career. He accepted via video message after winning the Performance of the Year category for “Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone” from CMT GIANTS: CHARLEY PRIDE.

Female Video of the year winner MIRANDA LAMBERT took home the 12th CMT trophy of her career.

MADDIE FONT of the duo MDDIE & TAE had the night’s most tearful speech. Accepting solo while bandmate (and new mother) TAYLOR KERR and her baby appeared on a screen behind her, FONT was overcome with emotion, finally wrapping her acceptance with, “Thank you JESUS and CMT.” Like STRAIT, MADDIE & TAE won their first award (for Group/Duo Video of the Year), as did Breakthrough Video winner PARKER McCOLLUM.

The show was hosted by KELSEA BALLERINI (from home, following a COVID-19 diagnosis), KANE BROWN and actor ANTHONY MACKIE. Just seven awards were doled out of the course of the performance-focused three-hour show, with two categories announced on social media prior to its start. Despite going into the show as the night’s most-nominated artist with four nods, host BROWN ended the show empty handed, and comically pretended to cry on MACKIE’s shoulder as the credits rolled.
