Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, Dasha, Megan Moroney and More: What We Learned About Country Stars’ New Projects Backstage at the CMT Awards
Country stars Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Keith Urban, Megan Moroney, Jordan Davis and Dasha discussed their future plans backstage at the CMT Awards.
While the CMT Music Awards reward videos from the past year, the stars who perform on the show often use it to tease singles from upcoming projects, even as others close out their current “eras” on the telecast but are happy to talk backstage about what’s coming next. Fortunately, CMT likes to take the “traditional” part out of the gatekeeper equation, and so the namesake awards (first broadcast on CBS) were able to do something that the rival CMAs or ACMs probably wouldn’t: put that TikTok smash right into prime time, alongside the established radio stars. Image Credit: Gilbert Flores for Variety Trisha Yearwood was on hand at the CMTs to be given the June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award, but also to premiere “Put It in a Song,” a preview of a new album that will be the first one she ever entirely co-wrote, in a recording career that goes back 33 years.
