Both LBT and Blake are among the 2015 honorees, along with Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, Kenny Rogers, Chris Stapleton and the cast of Nashville.

“I saw what she’s going to be wearing for this performance tonight, it’s gonna be – it’s stunning”, Shelton gushed to ET.

“This has been a insane year from the way it started and how it’s ending, so awesome for me”, Shelton said.

Shelton, who shocked fans back in July when he announced his divorce from Miranda Lambert, is now linked to fellow The Voice coach Gwen Stefani.

Country music star Blake Shelton couldn’t escape his personal drama when he was honored with the CMT Artist of the Year Award in a special network ceremony in Nashville Wednesday night.

Performers: Adam Lambert and Leona Lewis will perform a tributary cover of Little Big Town’s hit song “Girl Crush”.

The stage turned somber for a moment, with band members Jimi Westbrook and Karen Fairchild absent from the awards show, because Westbrook’s sister, Joyce, had died on Sunday.

In accepting his Lifetime award, ROGERS remembered first hearing RAY CHARLES at the age of 12, telling his mother that’s what exactly he wanted to do. “He has had four albums reach the top of the chart, 15 No. 1 singles in a row”, Adkins began. “I’m thankful for Gwen for tons of reasons…But mostly just because she makes us all look a whole lot better on this show”.
