The awards show for country music, which also sees Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert among multiple mentions, has been pushed back from June to October due to the coronavirus pandemic.

AceShowbiz - Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs and newly-crowned Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year Thomas Rhett lead all nominations for next month's CMT Music Awards.

The trio picked up three nods apiece, alongside Ashley McBryde, Dan + Shay, and Sam Hunt on Wednesday, September 23. The six artists are up for three nominations each, spanning categories such as for video of the year, male video of the year, female video of the year and breakthrough video of the year.
