Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic A couple of members of a fresh generation of country music — Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson — came away as the top victors at Sunday night’s CMT Music Awards, broadcast live from Austin for the first time. But the biggest winners may have been CMT and CBS, putting the three-hour telecast on the map as a show packed with enough performance firepower that it does merit having made the move from a cable platform to major broadcast premiere as of last year. However much the official winners may delight a core country crowd happy to see young radio and streaming favorites get rewarded, the big draw for the CBS audience was likely a series of collaborations between country stars and their pop or rock counterparts, as has been the custom for years on the rival CMA Awards. Most notable were the all-female collabs that had Carly Pearce dueting with Gwen Stefani on No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” or Alanis Morissette trading lines with a slate of young female artists that included Lainey Wilson, Ingrid Andress, Morgan Wade and Madeline Edwards. The all-star teamings spread to those who presented, too, with Megan Thee Stallion providing the most enthusiastic introduction imaginable for “my new besty,” Shania Twain.

Among the argument is a claim that the judge in the trial, which wrapped last December, barred a fair trial by “erroneously” allowing jurors to view a social media post.The Instagram post in question was sent from Lanez’s personal account in September 2020 in which it was alleged that Thee Stalltion’s now-estranged best friend Kelsey Harris was not the shooter.A declaration is included in the retrial motion from Lanez’s content creator, Joshua Farias, in which he claims that he was managing Lanez’s Instagram at that point and was the one who replied “that’s not true” to a comment on The Shade Room’s account stating: “People saying Kelsey shot her.”Lanez’s lawyers allege that prosecutors surprised them with the Instagram post mid-trial and that the defence team didn’t have sufficient time to ascertain who wrote the reply.The rapper (real name Daystar Peterson) and his lawyers claim that the post amounted to an apparent admission by Peterson that Kelsey didn’t fire the gun.
