Jelly Roll Dominates at the 2023 CMT Music Awards — See the Full Winners List

Amid awards show night at Austin, Texas' Moody Center, the winners' names at the 2023 CMT Music Awards have been announced. Some of the biggest names in country music were on the ballot this year.

Jelly Roll dominated at the show, winning all three categories in which he was nominated. Those trophies marked his first-ever CMTs win, and they meant a lot to him: When he was named the winner in the third and final category, Male Video of the Year, the singer was in tears as he claimed his trophy. Earlier in the night, he'd won Breakthrough Male Video of the Year and CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year.

Jelly and Zac Brown Band were both winners before the awards show even started. Jelly was on the red carpet when he learned he'd won CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year for a performance of his hit song, "Son of a Sinner," while ZBB won Group/Duo Video of the Year for "Out in the Middle."

Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown made history when they won the biggest award of the night — Video of the Year. They became the first husband-and-wife team in CMT Music Awards history to win in that category.

Lainey Wilson earned a trophy for Collaborative Video of the Year for "Wait in the Truck," her duet with Hardy, and another one later in the night, for Female Video of the Year. She was the most-nominated artist walking into the 2023 show with an impressive four mentions, including in the most coveted category of the night — Video of the Year.

New this year, the CMT Music Awards extended its Breakthrough Video of the Year Category into two subdivisions — one for male artists, one for female — a testament to the sheer amount of talent coming from country's new crop.

2023 also marks the first time the CMT Music Awards have taken place in Austin. For the past several years, the show has been held in Nashville. It's the second consecutive year that the ceremony has aired on CBS. Brown co-hosted this year's show with Kelsea Ballerini.
