Carrie Underwood, John Legend Finalists for CMT Video of the Year

CMT today unveiled the finalists vying for the Video of the Year award at the 2021 CMT Music Awards. Country music’s only entirely fan-voted show airs Wednesday, June 9th at 8p/7c on CMT, MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount Network and TV Land.

For the last several weeks, fans have been actively voting on a group of 14 “Video of the Year” nominees that have been narrowed down to the following 6 finalists:

  • Carrie Underwood & John Legend – “Hallelujah”
  • Elle King & Miranda Lambert – “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”
  • Kane Brown – “Worldwide Beautiful”
  • Keith Urban with P!nk – “One Too Many”
  • Kelsea Ballerini – “hole in the bottle”
  • Kenny Chesney – “Knowing You”

Of this year’s “Video of the Year” award nominees, Carrie Underwood brings the fiercest competition, as she looks to remain the most awarded artist in CMT Music Awards history with 22 total career wins, taking home last year’s top prize for “Drinking Alone.” This marks the first CMT Award nomination for John Legend and second for P!nk.
