2023 CMT Music Awards: The Complete Winners List

The annual awards show aired live from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, April 2.

The winners are in for the 2023 CMT Music Awards!

This year at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the awards show co-host, Kane Brown, and his wife, Katelyn Brown, made history by becoming the first husband-wife duo to win the Video of the Year award for their 2022 song, "Thank God." This also marked the first time each of them have won in the category.

Meanwhile, Jelly Roll took home the most awards, including Male Breakthrough Video of the Year.
