NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess) — Carrie Underwood & John Legend took top honors at the 2021 CMT Music Awards on Wednesday night as “Hallelujah” was named Video of the Year.

While Legend was unable to attend the awards gala, Underwood surprised fans by taking to the stage to accept the prize on behalf of both artists.

“Thank you fans! Thank you CMT!” Underwood told the audience. “You’re the reason we’re all here doing what we do, doing what we love, making music videos.”

Gabby Barrett, who dropped out of a performance slot at this year’s CMTs at the 11th hour, citing personal reasons, was recognized with “Female Video of the Year” while Taylor Swift returned to the CMT winner’s circle with her ninth award, taking the trophy for “Best Family Feature.”
