The news came as a shock to everyone when it was announced on Monday (August 19th) that for the first time in nearly a decade, Brad Paisley would not be co-hosting the CMA Awards with Carrie Underwood.

Paisley issued a brief, but positive messgae on Twitter about the new change to the award show saying "As a fan of all 3 of these amazing women, I can’t wait to watch."

Underwood will be returning to host the show, but this year she'll be joined instead by both Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire.
