For those that feel there are too many awards shows, we have good news. For the rest of you that love seeing country music celebrated with great live performances, the news is not so good. Friday, a note to the staff of Paramount+ informed them that certain events, including the CMT Music Awards, wouldn’t happen in 2025. The note states that the company is “pausing a few events for 2025 as we look to reimagine and optimize our events slate going forward. These include the MTV EMAs, MTV MIAWs, Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Mexico, and CMT Music Awards.” Apparently the pause does not impact the VMAs or the Kids’ Choice Awards in the US. No word why the CMT Music Awards was chosen to be paused, or if or when it would return.
