(Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images for CMT/Viacom) She looks... freaking fantastic?!? She has a Fresh Out of Maui glow (appropriate, given The White Lotus, in which she is predictably great by the way), her hair is doing that Tami Taylor shine thing, I love her dark mani-pedi, and let's not pretend it's not true: Her cleavage looks amazing. WHERE IS DEACON. ## Mickey Guyton ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198bd-1634174152.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198bd) Mickey Guyton CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 This is a nice sparkly frock, but I wish she'd gotten some sexier shoes to go with it. ## Jon Pardi ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198av-1634174174.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198av) Jon Pardi CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 It's fun to see the men lean into full country. That jacket reminds me of a Nudie Suit. (It may even be one.) ## Yola ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198an-1634174203.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198an) Yola CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 Okay, I know I handed best dressed preemptively to Connie "Rayna 'Tami Taylor' Jaymes" Britton, but I do actually love this. The combo of over-the-knee boots and a cowboy style isn't working for me here, though. Am I crazy to wish she'd just found better ACTUAL cowboy boots? ## Lady A ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198at-1634174183.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198at) Lady A - Dave Haywood, Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 She did not get the sparkle memo. ## Lainey Wilson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198m-1634174232.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198m) Lainey Wilson CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 BUT SHE DID. ## Cassie DiLaura ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198b-1634174264.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198b) Cassie DiLaura CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 AND ANOTHER. ## Gabby Barrett ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198ar-1634174193.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198ar) Gabby Barrett CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 I think this might need no tendrils and a badass necklace, but maybe that's too flashy for this event. Although... everyone ELSE is sparkly? So why not. ## Kevin Olusola ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/GettyImages-1346450515-1634174119.jpg) NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - OCTOBER 13: Kevin Olusola attends the 2021 CMT Artist of the Year on October 13, 2021 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images for CMT/Viacom) "Huh, Wite-Out still exists?" he thought to himself, seconds before the hurled bottle exploded on his chest. ## Nelly ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/GettyImages-1346450402-1634174141.jpg) NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - OCTOBER 13: Nelly attends the 2021 CMT Artist of the Year on October 13, 2021 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images for CMT/Viacom) This is fun -- the pants in the pattern of a bandanna work better than I expected. ## Randy Travis, Mary Davis ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198ax-1634174164.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198ax) Randy Travis, Mary Davis CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 He was being honored here -- he had a huge stroke in 2013 and spent three years without his singing voice, if I'm remembering correctly. He rehabbed it and then released a song again in 2020, I believe? He's had a very up and down personal journey but it must feel gratifying to have his work honored when he wasn't sure he'd ever sing again. ## Lindsay Ell ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198x-1634174212.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198x) Lindsay Ell CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 I am sure she gets people confusing her for Julianne Hough all the time. That dress looks like a LOT of... plastic. ## Cassadee Pope ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198s-1634174222.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198s) Cassadee Pope CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 I don't really think the blazer being longer than her formal shorts is a good look. ## Chapel Hart (Danica Hart, Devynn Hart, Trea Swindle) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198o-1634174242.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198o) Chapel Hart - Danica Hart, Devynn Hart, Trea Swindle CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 YES to those silver booties. I wish the hat had a little corresponding glitz, although I'm pleased to see it. MORE HATS. Country sometimes seems to want to lean away from the trappings of its genre, and I say, hug them instead. ## Alecia Davis ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_editorial_12536198g-1634174253.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Hebert/Shutterstock (12536198g) Alecia Davis CMT Artists of the Year, Nashville, Tennessee, USA - 13 Oct 2021 I thought this was Ree "The Pioneer Woman" Drummond for a second. It is NOT but maybe she can play Ree in the movie of her life. I like her dress; she needs to take Cassadee Pope shopping. [The CMTs Threw a Very Sparkly PartyBut best-dressed MIGHT be a fake country star?![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2021/10/gettyimages-1346450425-1634174130.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-cmts-threw-a-very-sparkly-party-10-2021/)
