2022 CMA Awards: Cody Johnson Wins CMA Music Video of the Year

The 56th CMA Awards will air live tonight on ABC, but the Country Music Association is already handing out trophies. Early winners were announced in two categories on Good Morning America. Among the winners was Cody Johnson, who took home his first-ever CMA Award for Video of the Year for “’Til You Can’t.”

Directed by Dustin Haney, the video bested clips by Taylor Swift, Cole Swindell, Midland, and more. Cody will perform the song live during the CMA Awards.

Penned by Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers, “’Til You Can’t” was the lead single to Cody’s 2021 album, Human: The Double Album. The live-in-the-moment song beckoned listeners to take chances and chase dreams. After releasing “’Til You Can’t” to country radio in October 2021, the single reached the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart in March 2022. In addition, Cody’s first chart-topping hit stayed at No. 1 for two weeks.
