CMAs Hit Repeat: Underwood, Paisley to Host Again

MTV may have decided against using Russell Brand as a three-time host, but the Country Music Association has no problem with three-peats.

On November 10, country music lovers will see llinCarrie Underwood and Brad Paisley center stage at the CMAs once again. The two have been a hosting team at the annual event for the past two years.

“Carrie and Brad have done a tremendous job hosting, and we are very happy to have them back again this year,” Steve Moore, CMA’s Chief Executive Officer, explained about the decision. “They have developed a natural rhythm and have a great rapport with the audience - both in the house and with our fans watching at home. They each have a great sense of humor and timing, which are two essential ingredients for hosting a live awards broadcast.”

The 44th Annual CMA Awards will air live from 8:00-11:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
