News that Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton will now co-host the CMA Awards with Carrie Underwood came as a shock this morning.

Reba posted this morning, “Can’t wait to join @carrieunderwood and @dollyparton at this year’s #CMAawards!!!.”

Interestedly, Reba will now play host to two Country Music Award shows, the Academy of Country Music Awards and the CMAs. They are friendly, but still rivals.

Dolly also posted to her Instagram, “Talk about girl power. I’m so excited to be joining @carrieunderwood and @reba to celebrate the legendary women of country music as a guest host of this year’s #CMAawards on November 13.”

The CMA also posted saying, “We’re thrilled to announce that @CarrieUnderwood will host this year’s #CMAawards with special guest hosts @Reba McEntire & @DollyParton, celebrating legendary women in Country Music!”

The show has been hosted for over ten years by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.
