The 2024 Country Music Association Awards Are Getting Some โ€œBell-Bottom Flairโ€ With This Yearโ€™s New Host, Lainey Wilson

Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning have graced the CMA stage for two years. The duo spent most of their first year hosting together in 2022 joking about whether football or country music is better.

The opening monologue included quips about Lukeโ€™s 2021 hosting abilities and how he โ€œneeded a co-host.โ€

The Newest Host, Lainey Wilson

Lainey Wilson will be the third host for the 2024 CMA Awards.

Wilson, Manning, and Bryan got together for a hilarious host announcement. The announcement opens with Manning and Bryan discussing their excitement about hosting together again. They are in a red car on their way to Nashville, and they begin to sing; then Wilson pops up, causing Bryan to scream hysterically.

Bryan deserves an award for his high-pitched scream alone. He is pictured below.
