CMA Country Music Association / Facebook

At long last, it’s time for “country music’s biggest night!”

The 2019 CMA Awards were scheduled for November 13 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Carrie Underwood is hosting the ceremony for the 12th year in the row, while her former co-host, Brad Paisley, did not return.

Instead, Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire will serve as Underwood’s guest co-hosts. Together, the three women plan to pay tribute to country music’s extraordinary female artists throughout the night.
