among those being added to “CMT Celebrates Our Heroes: An Artists of the Year Special,” airing on June 3.
Tim McGraw, Lauren Daigle, Kane Brown, Darius Rucker and Kristen Bell are also joining the two-hour telecast, which replaces CMT’s traditional “Artists of the Year” live special with a show that takes the focus off awards and will have performances taped at home in a salute to non-celebrities shining in their roles during the coronavirus crisis.
Artist participants revealed in the initial announcement about the revamped show included Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Brothers Osborne, Florida Georgia Line, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady Antebellum and Little Big Town.. The network says it plans to salute workers in the areas of health care, first responders, education, the food industry, the military, community leaders, business and infrastructure.
