In case you missed it...
As we told you, when the GRAMMY Awards moved to April 3rd, the CMT Music Awards had to be rescheduled, and now we know when and where they are going to happen. The 2022 CMT Music Awards will now go down April 11th airing on CBS live from Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium and various locations around Music City. As of now performers for the show have yet to be announced, although execs promise a show “jam-packed with the most star-power, world premiere performances and one-of-a-kind collaborations from in and around Music City.”
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is sharing details about their the latest edition of their “American Currents: State of the Music” exhibit, opening March 4th.

Hall, Brittney Spencer and Reba McEntire, and Lainey Wilson and Lee Ann Womack. “American Currents: State of the Music” runs through February 5th, 2023.
