Cody Johnson, Jelly Roll and Kelsea Ballerini went into the 2024 CMT Music Awards tied for the most nominations (three), and they have maintained that tie all through the public voting process for Video of the Year. The top category started with 16 preliminary contenders, and those three artists are now the finalists eligible to win the award tonight, April 7, during a ceremony airing live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Fan voting is now open on the CMT Music Awards Facebook using specific hashtags and Instagram commenting with artist name and #cmtawards.

Johnson, Jelly Roll, and Ballerini have never won Video of the Year before, so the CMT Awards are guaranteed to crown a new winner tonight. But all three have won before in other categories, so we know they all have strong fan bases supporting them. But Jelly Roll might be especially formidable. He had three nominations last year and won all three including Male Video of the Year and Male Breakthrough Video of the Year, making him the biggest winner at that ceremony. Will he sweep again, or can Johnson or Ballerini overtake him?
