These Legendary Women Will Be Hosting the CMA Awards
The Country Music Association has shared a video revealing the hosts of the 53rd annual CMA Awards.
Carrie Underwood, who began hosting the CMA Awards in 2008, will continue to host the show. However, her usual co-host for the last 11 years, Brad Paisley, will not be sharing the stage with Carrie this year. Her special guest hosts this year will be Country Music Hall of Fame members Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton.
