Miranda also picked up Female Video of the Year for hit single If I Was A Cowboy, and she gave an emotional speech in which she also thanked her music video director and friend Trey Fanjoy.

"I am so damn happy to be here," she began, adding: "I am so happy to be apart of women in country music today, we are kicking some [expletive]".

"Trey, I love you, this one is for you and we are going to continue to be cowboys."

However, hours before the show kicked off it was announced there would be one major change - Kelsea Ballerini, who had been set to host with Captain America star Anthony Mackie, had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and would instead be virtually performing from her home.

Kane Brown has stepped in to join Anthony as host in the auditorium.

Carrie is the all-time CMT Awards record holder with an incredible 23, and the singer added one more to that record as she picked up Collaborative Video of the Year for her hit single 'If I Didn't Love You' with Jason Aldean.
