As we draw closer to the 2024 "CMT Music Awards." the evening is beginning to take shape. Kelsea Ballerini will once again be hosting the festivities, which will take place Sunday, April 7. Yesterday, the first round of performers for the event was announced. Taking the stage alongside Ballerini, who will both host and perform, will be Bailey Zimmerman, Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson and Sam Hunt. More performers will be announced between now and the night of the show. The fan-voted award show airs live from Austin, Texas’ Moody Center on Sunday, April 7th from 7-10 pm on CBS, and will be available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
George Strait comes across as kind of straight-laced (no pun intended), so who knew he had this level of trolling ability? "King George" appeared to be having some fun at his Texas fans' expense when his concert schedule was released - and there were no Texas shows listed. His Lone Star State fans were not happy, and let him know on social media. That's when George's inner troll came out. Strait posted a video on social media highlighting all the unhappy comments fans left about the absence of Texas dates. As the video goes on, the comments part, revealing George sitting with a big smile on his face, giving all the negative comments a big "thumbs up." So what did that mean, exactly? Turns out George had been holding out: he belatedly revealed that he was, in fact, performing in Texas June 15th at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field with special guests Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman. Tickets to the Kyle Field performance go on sale to the general public tomorrow. See George messing with Texas below...
