<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the past three weeks, fans have cast their votes across all categories, including “Video of the Year,” narrowing down to the top six finalists from the original list of 16 nominees. On the morning of Sunday, April 2nd, these six will be narrowed down to top three, with voting continuing through the live show, leading up to the big reveal at the end of the night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year’s Top 6 sees <a title="Carrie Underwood" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/carrie-underwood-tour-dates/">Carrie Underwood</a> competing for her fifth consecutive “Video of the Year” win and tenth overall in the category, as she remains the most awarded artist in CMT Music Awards history with 25 career wins. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Should <a title="Kane Brown" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSKaneBrown/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkane-brown-tickets%2F">Kane Brown</a> and Katelyn Brown win, they would make history as the first husband and wife duo to win the coveted award. This would also be the first win for each of them in the category. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A win for <a title="Blake Shelton" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSBlakeS/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fblake-shelton-tickets%2F">Blake Shelton</a> would mark his second time winning “Video of the Year,” with the first earned in 2018, and a win by <a title="Cody Johnson" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSCodyJohnson/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fcody-johnson-tickets%2F">Cody Johnson</a>, <a title="HARDY" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSHardy/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fhardy-tickets%2F">HARDY</a>, <a title="Lainey Wilson" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSLaineyW/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Flainey-wilson-tickets%2F">Lainey Wilson</a> or <a title="Morgan Wallen" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSMWallen/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fmorgan-wallen-tickets%2F">Morgan Wallen</a> would be their first win in the category.</p>
