LUKE, PEYTON & LAINEY TO HOST CMAs

The Country Music Association has decided that three heads are better than one, choosing Luke Bryan, NFL great Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson to host this year’s CMA Awards.

“Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor, and it’s crazy when I realize this is my fourth year back," said Bryan. "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.”

Morgan Wallen leads the field with seven nominations, including Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. Cody Johnson and 21-time CMA winner Chris Stapleton are each up for five awards, followed by Nashville newbie Post Malone and reigning CMA Entertainer Wilson with four apiece.

The 58th annual CMAs will air live on ABC on 11/20 and stream the next day on Hulu, with Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena once again serving as host venue. Robert Deaton will exec-produce the broadcast, Alan Carter will direct and Jon Macks will serve as head writer.
