The CMT Music Awards, a staple of country music television, will not take place this spring, as the long-running awards show has been officially put on pause. The decision comes as Paramount moves forward with its merger with Skydance Media, leaving the event’s future uncertain.
The CMT Music Awards, which first debuted as the CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards in 2002, has distinguished itself from other country music honors by focusing on music videos and allowing fans to determine the winners. Over the years, the show has grown in popularity, with Carrie Underwood holding the record for most Video of the Year wins at 10.
This pause aligns with a broader trend, as several other international awards shows have also been placed on hold amid industry shifts.
For now, the fate of the CMT Music Awards remains unclear as the corporate merger progresses.
