Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley Returning to Host 45th Annual CMA Awards

It will be the duo's fourth year teaming up to host the Country Music Awards and they announced the news Monday in a prerecorded video that premiered on the CMA's Facebook page.

Underwood, who has received five CMA awards so far in her career, says she's again looking forward to sharing the stage with her good friend. "I'm so honored to be asked back with my friend, Brad. The creative process of getting ready for the show is a blast, and I look forward to sharing country music's biggest night with all the fans!"

Paisley, the current CMA Entertainer of the Year, added: "I love working with Carrie, she's a class act and a complete
balance to my non-class act. I'll try my best to not mess it up." 

The 45th Annual Country Music Awards show is set to air live from Nashville November 9 on ABC.
