Country stars walked the red carpet in Nashville last night (10/12) for the 2022 CMT Artists of the Year event, which will air on CMT on Friday (10/14).

Five country stars were honored with the Artist of the Year title: Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Walker Hayes, Carly Pearce, and Cody Johnson and all the stars were on the carpet except for Luke Combs, whose wife Nicole said on her Insta stories yesterday that she hadn’t been online at all because “Tex (their baby) is going through something.” She didn’t share any further information.

Kane Brown and his wife, Katelyn, celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary on the red carpet. Katelyn shared a fun getting ready video clip on her Insta stories yesterday as several people helped the couple her “Glammed up” for the event.

Here’s a look at country stars on the latest CMT red carpet.
