The 2013 CMT Music Awards is pulling out the big guns. Among the first performers announced for the June 5 broadcast are some of the biggest young stars in country: Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes.
They’ll perform on the Jason Aldean- and Kristen Bell-hosted show alongside some other major names, including Little Big Town, Luke Bryan and the Pistol Annies. The fan-voted show will be broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with additional performers and presenters to be announced in the coming weeks.
Fans can vote online now at CMT.com, their mobile devices and the CMT Insider on the iPhone, iPad and Android now through June 2. The six finalists for Video of the Year will be announced at the beginning of the live show and fans can then vote throughout the live telecast (ET/CT only) to determine the night’s big winner.
The nominees for that award include: Brad Paisley (“Southern Comfort Zone”), Carrie Underwood (“Blown Away”), Eric Church (“Springsteen”), Florida Georgia Line (“Cruise”), Hunter Hayes (“Wanted”), Jason Aldean (“1994”), Kenny Chesney (“Come Over”), Little Big Town (“Tornado”), Luke Bryan (“Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye”), Miranda Lambert (“Mama’s Broken Heart”), Taylor Swift (“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”) and Tim McGraw (“One of Those Nights”).
Church, Bryan and Lambert lead all nominees for the 2013 awards with four each. Just behind them with three each are Aldean, Chesney, Rascal Flatts and first-time nominees Florida Georgia Line, while Underwood, Paisley, Hayes, Jana Kramer, Journey, Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, Swift and McGraw scored two each.
