Did you catch the best performances from the 2023 CMT Music Awards? It was a fun show!
The 2023 CMT Music Awards was three hours of performances, awards, and Texas. Yes! For the first time ever, the awards were handed out from an arena in Austin, Texas; and in true Texas fashion, they never let us forget exactly where they were. As a matter of fact, a majority of the presenters - and many of the performers - had Texas ties.
The 2023 CMT Music Awards began with an emotional statement from co-host Kelsea Ballerini, dedicating the show to the victims and everyone affected by gun violence. From there, the mood lightened as Kelsea and he co-host Kane Brown entertained us through the awards and performances. Check them out below!
Blake Shelton
Blake Shelton opened the show musically with "No Body," saluting the city of Austin by quoting his first hit of the same name - “If this is Austin, I still love you!”
