Miranda Lambert and Maren Morris lead the nominations for the 2021 CMT Music Awards. They are both nominated in the top category of video of the year, as well as in other categories. Former tour mates Lambert and Elle King are nominated together for their song "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)." Morgan Wallen, who had a controversy earlier this year, did not receive any nominations. The show will be hosted by Kane Brown and Kelsea Ballerini, with outdoor performances and surprises planned. Fans can vote for their favorite music videos on the CMT website.
