RUCKER & REBA TO HOST THE CMAS

Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker will host The 54th annual CMA Awards on 11/11 from Nashville. It’s Rucker’s debut as a host; McEntire returns for the fifth time.

“To be invited to host this year’s awards alongside Reba—are you kidding me?! It is an absolute honor,” Rucker said. “Even though this year will look a little different than normal, I know that we're all eager for a night of musical celebration, and this year’s show definitely won't disappoint.”

CMA Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern said, “We look forward to bringing fans a night of celebration, live performances and a television experience unlike any other.” More details about how the show will be staged will be released in the coming weeks.

The final round of voting is live now and closes 10/27. ABC will broadcast the show.
