Artists such as Caylee Hammack, Gabby Barrett, Ingrid Andress, Riley Green and Travis Denning have received their first-ever nominations during this year’s awards.
Non-country artists also have a chance to take home a CMT Music Award this year. Justin Bieber could take home an award for his “10,000 Hours” video with Dan + Shay. DJ Marshmello also earned a nomination for his collaboration with Kane Brown, “One Right Thing.”
This should be a really interesting and cool awards show and I’m excited to see who wins what. I’m really hoping Old Dominion wins. The new song “One Man Band” is so beautiful and catchy. I am obsessed with it.
