Jason Aldean Tickets ? Three CMT Music Awards Nominations for Jason Aldean

Along with Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean led the pack of nominees for the upcoming CMT Music Awards. The four country acts secured three nominations apiece when the finalists for the upcoming awards show were announced on May 11. The first round of nominations were announced in April and fans voted to strip each category down to just four finalists, although finalists for the coveted Video of the Year won’t be announced until the beginning of the CMT Music Awards, which will be held in the country music capital of Nashville on June 9.

Jason Aldean’s “The Truth” is in the running for the Video of the Year honor, along with Toby Keith’s “American Ride,” Carrie Underwood’s “Cowboy Casanova,” Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now,” Kenny Chesney’s “Out Last Night,” Keith Urban’s “‘Til Summer Comes Around,” Zac Brown Band’s “Toes,” Brad Paisley’s “Welcome to the Future,” Miranda Lambert’s “White Liar” and Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me.” Fans can begin voting for their pick out of the 10 nominees via text message at the beginning of the CMT Awards, which will be hosted by Kid Rock.

“The Truth” is also nominated in the Male Video of the Year category. Aldean will compete against Toby Keith’s “American Ride,” Billy Currington’s “People Are Crazy,” Tim McGraw’s “Southern Voice” and Keith Urban’s “‘Til Summer Comes Around.” Jason Aldean’s third nomination is in the Collaborative Video of the Year category, for “Heaven,” his duet with Bryan Adams. The other three songs nominated for Collaborative Video of the Year are “Best Days of Your Life” (Kellie Pickler and Taylor Swift), “Hillbilly Bone” (Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins) and “I’m Alive” (Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews).

Country’s biggest stars will flock to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena for the awards show on June 9, and many of those stars—including Jason Aldean—will return to the venue for a benefit concert on June 22. Country power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are putting on the “Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery” in order to assist victims of the floods that wreaked havoc on Nashville and Middle Tennessee. McGraw and Hill will perform along with Jason Aldean, Lynyrd Skynyrd, LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Michael W. Smith, Miranda Lambert, Amy Grant, Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn and Miley Cyrus.

In addition to his very own headlining tour, the “Big Green Tractor” singer will open for legendary country duo Brooks & Dunn on their Last Rodeo Tour. “I’ve been a fan of those guys for as long as they’ve been around and never had a chance to tour with them all. I’ve done a couple of shows with them here and there, but that was always a tour that I wanted them to be on—to go out with Brooks and Dunn,” Aldean previously told The Boot about his decision to take on two tours.
