You still have a chance to vote for your favorite artists

Unlike many awards shows, where people in the industry pick the winners, fans get to decide who goes home with a trophy at the CMT Awards. And country music fans still have a chance to vote for their favorites.

To cast your vote, head to the CMT website. There, you can choose your favorite in categories like “Male Video of the Year,” “Breakthrough Video of the Year,” and “CMT Performance of the Year.” Voting is open through June 4 at 11:59 p.m. ET, with the exception of the “Video of the Year” category, where you can vote for your favorite of the top 5 finalists until June 5 at 10 p.m.

How to get tickets to the show

Most fans will watch the CMT Awards from the comfort of their couch, but if you happen to be in Nashville, you can see them in person.

Tickets are still available for the awards ceremony and all the associated performances. The cheapest available tickets are $50.50 each, while a general admission ticket for the main floor is $95.50. A seat in the lower section of the arena with a direct view of the stage is $170.50
