Luke Bryan will also make his CMA Awards hosting debut.

“The CMA Awards is one of the biggest nights of the year for country music,” Bryan says of his role. “Being asked to host the CMA Awards was definitely something I put a lot of thought into before answering. The pressure that comes along with that can be overwhelming, but knowing I get to help honor and celebrate so many of my friends, I knew it was something I couldn’t turn down. I mean, growing up in Georgia, I remember watching Vince Gill, RebaBrooks & Dunn, Kenny Rogers, Barbara Mandrell, to name a few. They were so good.

“And then becoming a part of this amazing country music family and sitting on the front row while Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker took the reins, all of these artists are heroes and friends, and I am honored to have my name included in this group,” he adds. “I’m looking forward to making it fun and memorable and using this platform to continue to make country music shine.”

The 2021 CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, on Wednesday, November 10, at 8:00 PM ET on ABC.
