Four-time Grammy nominee Kelsea Ballerini has agreed to handle hosting duties for the fourth consecutive year with the 2024 CMT Music Awards. Ballerini will go it solo, guiding the Country music-driven awards show on Sunday, April 7th live from Austin, Texas’ Moody Center. The awards show will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ at 8pm ET/PT (tape-delayed on the West Coast).
Ballerini is also confirmed to perform during this year’s broadcast.
Ballerini began her CMT Music Awards hosting run in 2021 alongside Kane Brown. Ballerini followed that gig up in 2022 by remotely hosting the show during the Covid pandemic. She and Brown returned in 2023 to host the show live.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be back for my fourth year with my CMT family to host this year’s CMT Music Awards in Austin, Texas. Hosting an awards show that celebrates the music that the fans love most has been an honor and I know this year will be another unforgettable night,” stated Kelsea Ballerini.
This year’s executive producers include Margaret Comeaux (CMT), John Hamlin (Switched On Entertainment), Leslie Fram (CMT), and Jason Owen (Sandbox Entertainment). Nominees and performers will be announced soon.
