All-Female Awards Show on CMT

While women have been struggling to be played on radio and on streaming playlists or earn nominations for country awards, CMT decided to celebrate the ladies this year, with honors going also to Kimberly Schlapman and Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini.

“Finally we’re seeing people actually do stuff about it,” Ballerini said. “CMT choosing to use their platform, which is a massive platform in country music, to honor only women is not just conversation, but actual change. That’s a massive step forward.”

The show will air on CMT on Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. Eastern.
