Ashley McBryde is set to join Kane Brown and Sarah Hyland as co-host for Wednesday’s CMT Music Awards.

The trio will be joined by a fourth yet-to-be-named host.

“I am beyond excited, and maybe a little nervous, to host an awards show for the very first time,” Ashley shares. “Luckily, it’s not all about me — it’s about celebrating badass music videos and the brilliant men and women that help us create them.”  She adds, “I’ve loved watching and being part of this event in the past and I think the fans are really going to enjoy what we have planned for them. It’s going to be a blast!”

The show also announced this year's presenters, including Taylor Swift, Brandi Carlile, Demi Lovato, Diplo, Idina Menzel, Jessica Chastain, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Rob Thomas and Tanya Tucker. 

Voting for the category is open now up until the night of the awards. The CMT Music Awards air October 21st on six networks including CMT, MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount Network, Pop and TV Land.
