Just weeks ago, CMT brought out the nominations for the 2018 shindig, in which Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line and Jason Aldean tied for the most recognition with four nods each. Another historical moment leading up the show came about when pop stars Bebe Rexha and Justin Timberlake each earned a nomination in the coveted Video of the Year section respectively.

The open groupings eligible to cast a vote in include Video of the Year, Male Video of the Year, Female Video of the Year, Duo Video of the Year, Group Video of the Year, Breakthrough Video of the Year, Collaborative Video of the Year and CMT Performance of the Year.
