The list of nominees for the 2018 CMT Awards was released on Tuesday and Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line (FGL) and Jason Aldean lead the way.
Underwood currently holds the title for most CMT Music Awards wins with 17, and will be hoping to add to her trophy cabinet this year, as she received nominations for Female Video of the Year, Collaborative Video of the Year and CMT Performance of the Year.
The former American Idol winner will also face off in the highly-coveted Video of the Year category against FGL and Aldean – who join Underwood at the top of the list with four nods each.

It also promises to be a big night for the chart-topping group Little Big Town, who is not only nominated for three awards but is set to host the ceremony which premieres live from Nashville on June at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The annual fan-voted award show honours the best in country music videos, although this year’s event also features nominations for artists from other popular genres, including Justin Timberlake, Bebe Rexha, and Ludacris, who is nominated for his duet with Underwood.
Fan voting begins today at CMT.com and continues until 12:01 a.m. ET on Monday, June 4.
