Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood took home the award for Video of the Year.
The Judds, performed for the final time together. Naomi Judd died on April 30.

The 2022 CMT Music Awards, the 56th edition of the awards ceremony, were held in Nashville, Tennessee on April 11, 2022, at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium and locations in and around Nashville, Tennessee.[2][3][4] The ceremony was hosted by Kelsea Ballerini (virtually), Kane Brown, and Anthony Mackie.[5] The ceremony marked the final appearance and public performance of the country music duo, The Judds, as Naomi Judd died on April 30.

Background

[edit]

The CMT Music Awards is country music's only entirely fan-voted awards show. Following the long-time CBS produced Academy of Country Music Awards departed from the network, Paramount Global announced that the live televised ceremony would move to CBS from CMT. While CBS carried the award show live, CMT aired week-long special programming and events capped by exclusive "director's cut" airing of the ceremony on CMT.[6]

Judds Reunion

[edit]

On April 1, CMT announced that Wynonna and Naomi Judd would reunite for a performance on the 2022 CMT Music Awards. The reunion comes ahead of the duo's Country Music Hall of Fame induction in May and Final Tour in the Fall. They performed their hit song, "Love Can Build a Bridge," from the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. The performance marked The Judds' only nationally televised award show performance in more than twenty years.[7] The reunion performance was met with positive reception. People Magazine called the performance "stunning",[8] and Billboard called the reunion a "glorious return and a welcome comeback".[9] This would be the final live performance for Naomi Judd and for The Judds as a duo; Naomi Judd died on April 30, 2022, just nineteen days after their performance.[10][11]

Ballerini tests positive for COVID-19

[edit]

On the day of the live telecast, Ballerini announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19. She was asymptomatic, and said she would be able to co-host and perform from her home, with help from CMT and CBS.[12] Kane Brown, who hosted the previous year's ceremony with Ballerini, stepped in and shared the main stage with Mackie as a co-host.[13]
