Brown had a good year in 2020 when he won Favorite Male Country Artist thrice in a row. Ballerini joined the judge's panel of 'The Voice' this year.

The awards presentation this year will honor music's biggest names, with two-and-a-half hours of uninterrupted performances and one-of-a-kind collaborations taking place in and around Music City.
