The 2022 CMT Awards are a wrap following the ceremony on Monday night (April 11) at Nashville Municipal Auditorium. Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, and Cody Johnson all walked away with two trophies during the star-studded evening.
The show was hosted by actor Anthony Mackie, Kane Brown, and Kelsea Ballerini, who tested positive for COVID yet managed to still host from her home and perform from her backyard.
