Brad Paisley And Carrie Underwood To Return As Hosts Of The 2018 CMA Awards

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. For the 11th consecutive year, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will return as co-hosts of the 2018 CMA Awards. 

After 10 years of hosting together, Brad and Carrie have become staples of country music’s biggest night, and they have the memorable hosting moments to prove it. 

Who could forget their perfectly choreographed performance of “Gangnam Style” in 2012? Or that time when Brad had to explain to Carrie what “motorboating” means. (There's a reason these two keep getting invited back) Over the years, Carrie and Brad have also gifted CMA fans with some amazing performances.

This year’s show is expected to be yet another unforgettable night featuring someone or the biggest names in country music. The 2018 CMAs is set to broadcast live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on November 14. 

As for the 2018 CMA nominees, Luke Bryan, a two-time CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year winner, will announce some of the nominees, along with Dan + Shay and Sugarland, live from his brand-new restaurant, 32 Bridge Food + Drink, in Nashville, on August 28. The remaining categories’ nominees will be shared online. 

CMA nominees and winners are determined by more than 7,400 professional members of the Country Music Association. 

The 52nd Annual CMA Awards airs November 14 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
