ABC/Image Group LAIn a year that’s been huge for country/pop crossovers, two pop stars have made history: They’re the first in their genre to be nominated for the biggest honor, Video of the Year, at the CMT Music Awards.
Justin Timberlake and Bebe Rexha have both nabbed nominations at the awards ceremony, which is usually a strictly country music affair. But Justin is nominated for the video for “Say Something,” his hit collaboration with country star Chris Stapleton, while Bebe is nominated for “Meant to Be,” her smash hit collab with Florida Georgia Line.
The Backstreet Boys are also nominated, in a category called CMT Performance of the Year. They’re up for their performance of their hit, “Everybody,” with Florida Georgia Line, from an episode of CMT Crossroads.
Other nominees you might want to know about include Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Maren Morris, Carrie Underwood and Lady Antebellum.
You can make your picks now at CMT.com, with voting wrapping up just after midnight on Monday, June 4.
