Kelsea Ballerini is gearing up to host the 2024 CMT Music Awards solo for the first time, after co-hosting with Kane Brown for three years. While she feels prepared for the event, she realized she may face some challenges without someone to lean on while wearing her large heels on stage. Ballerini, known for her upbeat and fun personality, believes in making sure everyone has a good time. The fan-voted awards show will take place in Austin, Texas, at the new Moody Center. Ballerini is nominated for multiple awards and will also be performing. Backstage at the CMT Music Awards is described as chaotic yet like a family reunion, with artists mingling and celebrating each other's achievements. The show will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on April 7. Viewers can expect an emotional tribute to the late Toby Keith.
