“I couldn’t be more excited to be hosting the CMA Awards again this year, especially with it being the 60th anniversary. I’ve had so much fun hosting the last two years, and this one’s going to be extra special. Can’t wait to see y’all in November!”

The ceremony will be broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 18, at 8 p.m. on ABC, Disney+, and Hulu next day.

Nominees will be revealed September 10.
