NASHVILLE - The reigning CMA Male and Female Vocalists of the Year, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will unite to host The 42nd Annual CMA Awards. This is the first time that either artist will have hosted “Country Music’s Biggest Night.” The 42nd Annual CMA Awards airs live from the Sommet Center in Nashville, Wednesday, Nov. 12 (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) on the ABC Television Network.

In addition to their hosting duties, Paisley and Underwood will also perform on The CMA Awards. Previously announced performers include Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, George Strait, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, and Keith Urban, with more performers to be announced soon.

“I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to host the Awards show,” says Paisley. “We’re going to have a good time - start to finish.”

“I am so excited to host a show I grew up watching, and am so thrilled to spend this night with the fans and Brad,” says Underwood. “It’s going to be a party!”

Underwood toured with Paisley in 2006, and the two became fast friends. The artists, who are both members of the Grand Ole Opry, reunited last year to record the duet “Oh Love” for Paisley’s most recent album, 5th Gear.
