Ashley McBryde has been announced as the third and final host for the 2020 CMT Music Awards, joining previously-announced hosts Kane Brown and Sarah Hyland. McBryde, Brown and Hyland will all be hosting the show for the first time when it airs on Oct. 21.
“I am beyond excited, and maybe a little nervous, to host an awards show for the very first time,” McBryde said in a statement. “Luckily, it’s not all about me – it’s about celebrating bad ass music videos and the brilliant men and women that help us create them. 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!”
