Lainey Wilson To Host The CMA Awards

Lainey Wilson will be the sole host for the 59th annual CMA Awards, following her cohosting last year, and she is putting her own spin on the proceedings.

Wilson is one of the leading nominees for the CMA Awards, tying with Ella Langley and Megan Moroney with six nominations each.

She expressed her excitement about hosting the CMA Awards, stating, “I grew up watching the CMA Awards like it was the Super Bowl, so to be hosting for a second year is a true honor.”

The CMA Awards nominees and winners are determined by more than 7,000 professional voting members of the Country Music Association, representing every sector of the industry.

The CMA Awards, which will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, are the longest-running annual music awards show on network television, having first aired in 1967.
