Nashville's reigning entertainer of the year is returning to the CMA Awards stage — not as a nominee this time, but as the one running the show. CMA and ABC confirmed that Lainey Wilson will host the 60th Annual CMA Awards, marking a milestone year for country music's biggest night. The 60th anniversary puts extra weight on who stands at the podium, and the industry has chosen the artist who has spent recent seasons as one of its most visible faces. Details on the broadcast are expected to follow.
