The post Lainey Wilson & Jelly Roll Win Big at the 2023 CMT Music Awards appeared first on Hot Pop Today.

Wilson landed a nomination for female video of the year with “Heart Like a Truck” from her latest studio album Bell Bottom Country, but she owes the majority of her nods to her hit collaborations.

She’s in the running for video of the year and collaborative video of the year alongside HARDY for their duet “wait in the truck”. She also landed a nod for CMT performance of the year for the live performance of “Never Say Never” ft. Cole Swindell at the last year’s ceremony.

The list of nominees also includes Cody Johnson, Jelly Roll, and Kane Brown, with three nods each. The video of the year field will be the most crowded and unpredictable, and it includes 16 contenders, including Blake Shelton’s “No Body”, Carrie Underwood’s “Hate My Heart”, Kelsea Ballerini’s “HEARTFIRST”, and Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof”, among others.

The 2023 CMT Music Awards will take place on April 2 at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, with Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown serving as hosts.
