While the road to the Oscars has ended, that doesn’t mean the award shows have ended for 2024. In fact, the music awards are just getting started, superficially the country music awards. And if you couldn’t tell, if you’re a country music fan, you need to get ready for tonight: the 2024 Country Music Television Award Show, also known as the CMT Awards.

Founded in 1983, the CMT is a television channel devoted to country music, and ever since 1967 (when it was called the Music City News Awards), fans could vote for their favorite country music stars to take home the prestigious awards.

Co-hosted by Kelsea Ballerini yet again, along with performances by Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean, and Lainey Wilson, to name a few, this year’s CMTs are going to be such a fun night to witness.

(In case you’re wondering, you can watch the show on Paramount or CBS!)

And while we’re so excited for all the speeches, performances, and backstage moments, we’re ready for the red carpet fashion. Tonight, on April 7, America’s favorite country stars from all over the US will arrive in gorgeous looks!

From colorful, daring gowns to eye-catching suits, everyone came dressed to impress. The show goes from 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, but the iconic red carpet moments happen beforehand; so get ready.

Below, check out the stars who rocked the 2024 CMT red carpet!
