In a major turn of events, the 2025 CMT Awards have officially been cancelled—a blow to country music artists and us, their fans! Last year's award show was hosted by none other than Kelsea Ballerini and we saw some of our favorite artists take home some of the night's most coveted awards.

Two years after its move to a new city, the Country Music Television awards have been canceled for the 2025 season. But it’s not the only major event at a halt this year.

The annual event was canceled by its parent company, Paramount Global, along with several other awards shows. Find out why.
