Carrie Underwood Bows Out Of CMA Hosting Duties
Carrie Underwood took to Instagram today (12/30) to share the news that she will no longer be hosting the CMA Awards, at least for now.
Carrie posted, “One of the highlights of 2019 and of my entire career so far was being on stage with the legends that are Reba and Dolly Parton. Iām so proud that we could celebrate the incredible female artists that are part of the legacy of country music, past, present and future, and Iām thankful for the huge audiences all over the world that tuned in to see it. Itās hard to believe that it was my 12th year hosting and I will always treasure every show, from the 11 that I was so lucky to do with my partner in crime and friend for life, Brad Paisley, to sharing the stage with two of my all-time heroes. Iām so incredibly grateful to everyone involved with the CMA Awards all these years.”
She continued, “Itās hard to imagine topping what we have accomplished together, so Iāve decided that itās time to pass the hosting torch (at least for now!) to others that will cherish it and honor it as much as I do. Iāve got so many exciting things coming in the new year and beyond, and I canāt wait to see what the future has in store for all of us. #blessed #MemorableMoments”
