(Nashville, TN)  --  Blake Shelton is the big CMT Awards winner this year. 

The 2018 CMT Music Awards took place last night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Shelton won Video of the Year and Male Video of the Year for "I'll Name the Dogs." 

"All I can say is: I’ve been doing this for eighteen years," Shelton said in accepting the prizes. "I’ve been making records and lucky enough that you guys have accepted them, country radio has played them, and CMT has played my videos. It’s been a crazy ride. It’s so cool to sit up here with this new generation of country artists coming up. I may be one of the last old guys that’s excited to embrace the new generation that’s coming up."

Carrie Underwood's "The Champion" won Female Video of the Year, and Dan + Shay's "Tequila" took Duo Video of the Year.
