For a second year in a row, Jelly Roll led the CMT Music Awards with three wins. This time, that included the top category, Video of the Year. Other winners included Lainey Wilson, who took the Female Video of the Year for a second straight year, Dan + Shay, Carly Pearce, Chris Stapleton, Ashley Cooke, Warren Zeiders and American Idol alum Scotty McCreery. Here is a full list.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Helping cement his status as country music’s newest superstar, Jelly Roll swept all three categories in which he was nominated Sunday night at the CMT Music Awards, including music video of the year for his gospel-flavored “Need a Favor.” Likely having seen it coming, but also knowing Jelly Roll is a tough act to follow, the show’s producers saved his performance of his current country radio single “Halfway to Heaven” until the last five minutes of the telecast, coming right after his climactic win. Other winners in the all-fan-voted results included fellow frontrunner Lainey Wilson for female video of the year for “Watermelon Moonshine” and Dan + Shay for duo/group video for “Save Me the Trouble.” Warren Zeiders picked up breakthrough male video for “Pretty Little Poison,” while Ashley Cooke won equivalent honors for breakthrough female video for “Your Place.
