2023 CMT Music Awards - Show

Lainey Wilson performs at the CMT Music Awards at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, in 2023. Wilson will take the stage again this year, and has three nominations.

Louisiana singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson is up for three CMT awards on Sunday night, including Video of the Year.

The Baskin native will also perform during the ceremony, which airs live from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on CBS. Fans can also stream the telecast on Paramount+ with Showtime. 

Unlike most other music award competitions, CMT winners are voted on by fans. Although ballot-casting has closed for most categories, Video of the Year voting will stay open partially through the awards ceremony. To vote, visit vote.cmt.com.

In addition to her Video of the Year nomination for "Watermelon Moonshine," Wilson, 31, is also in the running for Video Collaboration of the Year for "More Than Friends," which also features Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real; and Female Video of the Year, also for "Watermelon Moonshine."

Four-time Grammy nominee Kelsea Ballerini will host the awards for the fourth consecutive year.
