Three-time Grammy winner Trisha Yearwood will be honored with the first-ever “June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award” during the 2024 CMT Music Awards. Hosted by Kelsea Ballerini, this year’s awards show will air on CBS on April 7th at 8pm ET/PT.
“We are thrilled to honor the incomparable Trisha Yearwood with the inaugural June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award at this year’s show. Trisha has a unique ability to rally a community, whether that may be families in need with Habitat for Humanity, or uplifting her fellow artists and entertainers trying to carve a path in the industry,” stated CMT Music Awards‘ executive producers. “She embodies the bold strength of June, who tirelessly devoted herself to service and community, and the namesake for this award. Both multi-hyphenate trailblazers eloquently crafted a script for others to model, letting their hearts and authenticity guide their personal, professional and public lives.”
The Country superstar will also take the stage for the world premiere performance of “Put It In a Song,” the first single off of her upcoming album.
Yearwood’s charitable work includes 20+ years of assisting Habitat for Humanity, with her decades of work earning her the 2016 Habitat Humanitarian award along with Garth Brooks. She also started Dottie’s Yard and works with Stanford Women’s Cancer Center, American Cancer Society, Humane Society, Grammy Foundation MusiCares, Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential, Starkey Hearing Foundation, and the Susan B. Komen Foundation.
