Network will air the show live from Nashville
The 2021 CMT Artists of the Year will return live from Nashville this October to honor the top five country artists who collectively ruled the last 12 months in country music, leading across all CMT’s platforms, scoring chart-topping albums and singles while simultaneously finding creative ways to connect with fans and meet the personal and professional challenges posed by the pandemic.
The 90-minute special will return to Schermerhorn Symphony Center, after adapting its original format last June to honor some of the most vital and inspirational Americans on the frontlines of the pandemic. The 2021 CMT Artists of the Year will once again feature surprise musical pairings and special guests; honorees, additional performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.
