The stars were big and bright at the CMT Awards … but these behind-the-scenes shots show some of the best in the biz in country music — and beyond — coming together for some good ol’ times!
The ceremony went down Monday at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Tennessee … Jimmie Allen, Dennis Quaid, Kane Brown, Nelly, Maddie Marlow of Maddie & Tae and Johan Font were just some of the A-listers present during the show.
Jason Aldean and Mark Wystrach made sure to snap some pics after chatting it up … Jason went on to win with Carrie Underwood for Collaborative Video of the Year and Video of the Year!
Miranda Lambert stole a kiss from her husband Brendan McLoughlin before taking the stage … her song, “If I Was a Cowboy,” was the Female video of the year.
Hannah Dasher and Jessie James Decker were rocking all-black backstage … drinks in hand as the cameras flashed!
Marvel star Anthony Mackie and country singer Kelsea Ballerini hosted the show, although Kelsea had to work from home — testing positive for COVID before the ceremony.
