Nominations for the 2019 CMT Music Awards were announced Tuesday and four acts are tied with a leading three each: Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne and Zac Brown Band.
Hosted by Little Big Town, the CMT Awards show is set for June 5 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Winners are determined in each category by fan voting.
Canada will be represented by an unlikely country music nominee – Shawn Mendes. His duet of “Keep Me In Mind” with Zac Brown Band on CMT Crossroads earned a nod for CMT Performance of the Year.
