“I grew up watching the CMA Awards like it was the Super Bowl, so to be hosting for a second year is a true honor,” Wilson said previously in a press release. “I’m humbled that CMA has trusted me with this role, and I can’t wait to love on this genre that has given me so much.”<\/p>\n

Along with news of Gill’s honor, “GMA” announced in Nov. 13 that Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Kelsea Ballerini and Old Dominion would perform at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Country Music Association also previously announced the first category of awards and nominations exclusively on “Good Morning America”<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n
