The 2020 CMT Music Awards aired on October 21, but the show was quite different than in years’ past due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event still featured star-studded performances and big-name presenters giving out the awards, but there was no major red carpet or audience in attendance. Luckily, viewers still got an amazing experience while watching the show, and the biggest artists in country music were honored by their fans with awards.
At the 2020 show, the artists with the most nominations were Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, Dan + Shay, Luke Combs, Sam Hunt and Thomas Rhett. The show was hosted by Ashley, along with Sarah Hyland and Kane Brown.
