CMT Awards red carpet: Stars are big and bright as they arrive at Austin's Moody Center

The stars at night are always big and bright in Texas and on Sunday country music's top talent will sparkle on the Moody Center's red carpet for the 2024 CMT Music Awards show. The three-hour show kicks off at 7 p.m. CST on CBS and Paramount+, but we've got your red carpet arrival photos right here.

Tonight's show, which will take place on a set that depicts a deconstructed version of the Congress Avenue bat bridge, includes appearances from Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, Sam Hunt, Cody Johnson, Sugarland, Jason Aldean and Megan Moroney.

Kelsea Ballerini returns to Austin to host the three-hour event  and she'll also perform her recently reimagined version of “Love Me Like You Mean It.” Trisha Yearwood will receive the inaugural June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award at the event and last year's breakout Jelly Roll — who had a scare on the way to the show when his private jet had to make an emergency landing — will also perform.

Watch the CMT Music Awards red carpet show here at 5:45 p.m. and stay tuned for continued coverage throughout the night.
