LAINEY WILSON ANNOUNCED AT SOLO HOST OF 60TH CMA AWARDS

Country music sensation, Lainey Wilson will be the solo host of the 60th annual CMA awards, happening live on November 18. She will now become the only female to have hosted the show by herself twice. She hosted last year on her own, and previously co-hosted with fellow stars, Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning in 2024. The 12-time CMA award winner hopes “third times a charm,” as she grabs her bell bottoms and bedazzled microphone for the third consecutive year.

The GRAMMY-winning musician announced the news this past weekend while performing at LSU’s ESPN College Gameday celebration. Adorned in her purple and gold, she was cheering on the LSU Tigers, kicking off football season in her home state of Louisiana. The “Phone, Keys, Wallet” singer continues to shatter the standards of the music industry, taking names and breaking records as she goes.

Nominees for the 60th annual CMA Awards will be announced on September 10. Watch the 60th annual CMA Awards on November 18, live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, on ABC and Disney+, and stream next day on Hulu.
