While many major music festivals and awards shows have been delayed because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, CMT is moving one of its marquee events up from the fall to the summer — and shifting the focus from artists to everyday Americans who are making extraordinary contributions to their communities during this time of crisis.
CMT on Monday announced it will put a twist on its annual Artists of the Year event. On June 3, the network will air a two-hour virtual tribute to workers across the country who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
CMT Celebrates Our Heroes: An Artists of the Year Special will feature performances from country music stars like Brothers Osborne, Florida Georgia Line, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady Antebellum,.
