Four-time GRAMMY nominated global superstar Kelsea Ballerini will return to host the 2024 CMT Music Awards while also doing double duty and performing live.  This will be the fourth consecutive year to host, but this year she will be running solo.

In the past Ballerini has co-hosted with Kane Brown and Anthony Mackie.  

"I couldn’t be more excited to be back for my 4th year with my CMT family to host this year’s CMT Music awards in Austin, TX. 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,” Ballerini said.

The 2024 CMT Music Awards will be live from Austin, Texas' Moody Center on Sunday, April 7 on CBS Television Network from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET along with being available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ with Showtime.

Nominations, performers and presenters for the awards show have yet to be announced but can be expected within the next few weeks.

The CMT Music Awards will boast executive producers Margaret Comeaux (CMT), John Hamlin (Switched On Entertainment), Leslie Fram (CMT) and Jason Owen (Sandbox Entertainment); Jackie Barber and Heather D. Graffagnino are executives in charge of productions; Taryn Hurd is the talent producer.

Tickets are available now through Ticketmaster and MoodyCenterATX.com.
