The TNN Music City Awards were held on Monday, June 14th in Nashville, TN, at the Nashville Arena.

There were many stars in attendance for Country Music's fan-voted awards, but there were many who weren't there as well. Stars like Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Steve Wariner, Alan Jackson, John Michael Montgomery, Neal McCoy, Joe Diffie, Sara Evans, Tim McGraw, Sawyer Brown, and Lorrie Morgan presented awards or performed their latest hits. On the other hand, stars like Trisha Yearwood, Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, and George Strait were missing.
