The decision to premiere on October 14th instead of June 3rd has made CMT Music Awards fans disappointed, but many know that it is for the safety of preventing COVID-19 from spreading furthermore.
This news also comes after the CMT’s priority to help rebuild Nashville after a harrowing tornado occurred in the city. The CMT still hopes to celebrate the stars of country music while still following the CDC’s guidelines, even if that means having to delay the awards show.
