Summertime is looking hot, hot, hot with all of the biggest country stars rolling up for the 2017 CMT Music Awards.

Making their strides down the gray carpet in style, everyone who is anyone in the genre showed up in their sleekest looks for the night’s celebration. From Carrie Underwood to Brett Eldredge and all the rest in between, the artists looked flawless as usual strutting their stuff.

Kelsea Ballerini, Keith Urban and Thomas Rhett all garnered a tie on the most nominations for the awards, and will be vying for prizes in the multiple categories scattered throughout the evening.

The 2017 CMT Music Awards, hosted by Nashville’s own Charles Esten, will air live from Nashville tonight at 8 p.m. ET on CMT.
