The main show was hosted by Kelsea Ballerini, who was also nominated in three categories this year. While it's the singer-songwriter's fourth year in a row as host, this was the first time she handled hosting duties solo. In previous years, she was joined by country artist Kane Brown and actor Anthony Mackie.
"This year, I just want to have fun," she said in an interview on "CBS Mornings." "I think hosting solo for the fourth year, I know kind of the ropes. I'm excited to just be present and enjoy the celebration of country music."
Ballerini is also preparing for a new album and said she was approaching it from a place of love and happiness — even if her songs may not always sound that way.
"I love writing sad songs. Even when I'm happy, I can always write a sad song," she told "CBS Mornings."
Host Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, Cody Johnson and Jelly Roll were all tied for the most nominations at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, with three nods each. Jelly Roll swept all three categories he was nominated in.
First-time nominees included stars like Amber Riley, Hozier and Zach Bryan.
