New York, Sep 24 (TIWN) Singer-songwriter Mickey Guyton will receive a special 'Breakout Artist of the Year' award as part of the CMT Artists of the Year to be telecast live on October 13, reports Variety.com.
The only times the network has given out the plaudit previously is when the title was bestowed on Chris Stapleton in 2015, Kelsea Ballerini in 2016 and Ashley McBryde two years ago, all seals of early-in-the-game approval that have aged well. Of course, CMT is not exactly taking a chance on an unknown in Guyton. Although her full-length debut album (“Remember Her Name”) isn’t coming out till this Friday, Guyton has been issuing singles and EPs to considerable acclaim and media attention for more than six years — as the network well knows, having premiered her first music video “Better Than You Left Me” in January 2015.
