Carrie Underwood did it again: for the sixth year in a row, Carrie won the 2021 CMT Music Award for Video of the Year. This time she won for her video with John Legend, “Hallelujah.”

A surprised Underwood took the CMT stage in a yellow pantsuit to accept the honor. She said, “Thank you so much fans, you guys are the reason we are all here doing what we love.”

She added, “Of course John Legend thank you for sending me this beautiful song and agreeing to sing with me on it and making this incredible video. And congratulations on what I think is your first CMT Award.”
