This year, the CMA Awards are adding a little bell-bottom flair to their hosting lineup as Lainey Wilson joins Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning as the emcees for Country Music’s Biggest Night. This marks Lainey’s first time as a host for an awards show, while Luke and Peyton log their fourth and third appearances in that role.
“Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor and it’s crazy when I realize this is my 4th year back,” says Luke. “Peyton and I have really worked to build off each other and now adding Lainey to the mix will just bring another fun element to the night. Celebrating Country Music never gets old to me.”
“I am honored to be back hosting the CMA Awards again this year,” says Peyton. “The past two years have been a lot of fun, and I know Lainey is going to bring a special flare. Hopefully she can help me keep Luke in line! Either way, I’m excited for an incredible night of celebration and Country Music.”
“I could not be more excited to host the CMA Awards this year with Luke and Peyton,” says Lainey. “It’s such an incredible honor and something I’ve always dreamed of doing. We’re planning a really great show for y’all, so make sure to watch on November 20!”
The 58th CMA Awards will air LIVE from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 20, at 8/7c on ABC. It will be available to stream the next day on Hulu. Look for performers and presenters to be announced in the weeks ahead. Check out the full list of nominations here.
