Shania Twain to Receive Artist of a Lifetime Honor at 2016 CMT Artists of the Year

Seventh Annual Celebration Premieres Oct. 20 on CMT

CMT.com | October 4, 2016

Shania Twain will become the first female recipient of the Artist of a Lifetime award when the seventh annual CMT Artists of the Year celebration premieres Oct. 20 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Previous recipients of the honor are legendary artists Kenny Rogers and Merle Haggard, who were awarded in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Artist of a Lifetime award is presented by Ram Trucks.

Taped live at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the 90-minute special will feature once-in-a-lifetime performances, tributes and unforgettable toasts as some of the biggest stars of music, film and television gather to celebrate the five artists selected by CMT as the top artists of the year: Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Thomas Rhett.

These artists collectively dominated the last 12 months ruling CMT’s platforms and country radio, scoring chart-topping album and singles, and selling out arenas around the country.

Additionally, CMT will honor rising star Kelsea Ballerini with the second annual Artists of the Year Breakout Award.

Twain, a five-time Grammy winner, was selected for her indelible impact and achievements in country music. With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide and U.S. sales topping 34.5 million, she remains the top-selling female country artist of all time. Her 1997 release Come on Over has sold more than 15.6 million copies, making it the No. 1 top-selling country album, the No. 1 top-selling album by a female in any genre and the No. 2 best-selling album overall in SoundScan history.

Previous CMT Artists of the Year honorees include Jason Aldean (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014), Kenny Chesney (2011, 2012), Eric Church (2012), Hunter Hayes (2013), Toby Keith (2012), Lady Antebellum (2010, 2011), Little Big Town (2015), Miranda Lambert (2012, 2014), Tim McGraw (2013), Brad Paisley (2011), Blake Shelton (2015), Taylor Swift (2010, 2011), Carrie Underwood (2010, 2012), Keith Urban (2014), Sam Hunt (2015) and the Zac Brown Band (2010).

Past CMT Artists of the Year ceremonies have featured Adele and Darius Rucker performing Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now,” Adam Lambert and Leona Lewis paying tribute to Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan’s mashup of “Oh No” and “All Night Long” and Maroon 5 covering Taylor Swift’s “Mine.” The show has featured appearances by Ellen DeGeneres, Matthew McConaughey, Selena Gomez, Billy Bob Thornton, Roger Clemens, Morgan Freeman and the cast of Nashville, among others.

Additional performers, presenters and special guests for this year’s event will be announced at a later date.

Do you think Shania will sing something during the show?

Tanya · Guru

What is it? I could find no informations about this event. Is it an award show or is it something of a different format?

I doubt it. But hopefully she'll announce new music and when it'll be released.

It's not actually an awards show. Every year CMT picks 5 artists to honor as their top artists of the year. This year they picked Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Thomas Rhett. They'll come out and sing. Sometimes other artists will sing their songs too as a tribute.

Is this live on CMT or pre recorded?

matteotempo · Guru

Let's hope she won't send a video-message thanking for the honor.
If she wants to avoid questions about the new album I think she could do it

The CMT article says "taped live" so it's a little confusing. It sounds like it might be pre-recorded because they usually say "broadcast live" or "airing live" for live shows. So I'm not sure.

On old TV show comedies like "All In The Family", they always used to say "taped live in front of a studio audience".

That's true. She has done that before! But since this is a Lifetime Achievement award, I would think she'll be there to accept it in person.

Is Shania going to attend??? The video says there will be performances from the 5 artists of the year and a musical tribute (medley of Shania's songs sung by different artists) to CMT Artist of a Lifetime Shania Twain. It kind of makes it sounds like Shania won't be there. It doesn't even say "an appearance by Shania Twain".

I think as it is a special award she will be there to accept it. She just won't sing.

matteotempo · Guru

I remember the same thing has been done for Reba and she was there in the front row to watch the other artists performing her songs. There were Faith Hill, Dolly, Martina McBride and others and at the end even Reba performed one song.
So the fact that other artists will sing Shania's songs doesn't really mean she won't be there in person. Although knowing Shania it's highly possible.

I was looking at the on-screen program guide on my TV and it doesn't say "Live" in the show's description as it usually does for live sporting events and award shows.

Also, there's no mention of Shania in the show's description. They list the 5 artists of the year and Kelsea Ballerini.

No album, No single, Doesn't seem like she is going to attend to accept this fabulous award? What's going on with her. Frustrating

Whatever the format may be. I sincerely hope that Shania would be there to accept the award. Especially when she has tweeted pictures of the numerous concerts and events that she has attended this year. She is notorious for not showing up to award type shows. I know this is not an "Awards Show" like the CMA's. But still, Shania does not tend to show up to any award type shows. I hope she shows up to this one. They are honoring her achievements and she should be there. I do have a feeling that she might not show up because if she does, there will be reporters and they will ask about the new music and for some reason she is avoiding anything to do with sharing that information. She might also not show up and have a statement that says something like...I've been working on new music, sorry I could not attend. Even though it is only one night and, like I said, she has been attending numerous events and concerts all year long! I hope she would be there.

Tommy · Guru

If in fact Shania is attending the show, you would think she would be in one of these promotional videos or post a message on Twitter/Facebook.

If it's not airing live on Thursday, I'm not sure which day it will be taped. As far as watching it in Canada, CMT Canada will probably air it at a later date as they did last year. I don't think it will be streamed on CMT.com.

We STILL don't have a true confirmation from Shania herself. The tweet was most likely posted by Shania's team, but it doesn't even say anything like "see you there".

A few days ago CMT tweeted "all honorees are scheduled to be there."

I think this would be a GREAT chance to announce the new album or at least the lead single.
But I guess it will be wasted by her and her label.

Tommy · Guru

I wonder if she'll answer any questions tonight on the red carpet. CMT is not airing a red carpet show tomorrow night.

matteotempo · Guru

I wonder too. I think she will but maybe she put a veto with the press on questions about new music.

Carrie Underwood: Shania Twain Didn't 'Follow the Norm'

CMT Cody Alan | October 17, 2016

Carrie Underwood is a big fan of a fellow “CMT Artist of the Year” honoree!

The three-time “CMTAOTY” sounds off in a new promo on 2016 “Artist of a Lifetime” recipient Shania Twain, who Carrie says was “at the top” during her biggest moments of success.

“Shania Twain was just a different artist at that time,” Carrie says. “There was nobody else that looked or sounded or felt like her in the genre. Seeing that ... somebody can come in and doesn’t necessarily have the follow the norm—they can be themselves and do something different and be extremely, hugely successful. To be a successful woman in country music in any decade, I mean, that’s incredible....”

VIDEO - https://www.facebook.com/CMTartistsoftheyear/videos/1492083890807020/

Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton and Florida Georgia Line will also be honored among the “CMT Artists of the Year,” while Kelsea Ballerini will be awarded the "CMT Breakthrough Artist" of the Year trophy.

Look for that and much more when the 2016 CMT Artists of the Year special airs Thursday (10/20) at 9/8c on CMT.

I think Shania will resist any questions about the new music. She will probably instruct her team to let the media/reporters know NOT to ask any specific questions about the new album and only ask general questions. So the red carpet show is being taped tonight, meaning we will see the taped red carpet show tomorrow?
