The show airs April 7th on CBS
CMT has added TikTok star Dasha and Jason Aldean to the star-packed performer lineup for the 2024 CMT Music Awards, hosted by Kelsea Ballerini, airing live from Austin, Texas’ Moody Center on Sunday, April 7th from 8-11 pm ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
Dasha is a fast-rising singer-songwriter and new Warner Records signee who will mark her award show debut with a performance of the breakout hit “Austin,” in a fitting tribute to the show’s host city. The track has sparked a phenomenon with a trending TikTok line dance with over 600,000 unique videos created to date and marked her debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Aldean is a 31-time nominee and four-time CMT winner and is set to perform “Let Your Boys Be Country,” marking his ninth performance on the CMT stage. In 2022, he joined Bryan Adams for a performance of “Heaven” and took home “Video of the Year” with Carrie Underwood. Other memorable CMT appearances include his 2011 “Dirt Road Anthem” collab with Ludacris, his 2013 co-hosting stint with Kristen Bell where he pulled double duty as performer alongside Lenny Kravitz, and as part of the superstar Gregg Allman tribute in 2017.
