There’s awards! There’s music! And there is most certainly country! It’s the CMT Music Awards! No, Beyoncé was not in attendance — remember, folks, as Mrs. Knowles-Carter has stated, Cowboy Carter is a “Beyoncé album, not a country album.” Nonetheless, the people who were in attendance, like Kelsea Ballerini, Gayle King, GloRilla, and Keith Urban, showed up in their rootin’ tootin’ best. Below, we’ve got the most country, the most ostentatious, and the all-around best looks from the CMT Music Awards red carpet.
