‘CMA Awards 2019’ Preview

CMA Awards 2019 will see the return of country music stars Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton. The former recently sat down with to discuss her hosting stint, and why she is particularly excited to take the stage this year. “It does not get bigger than that or better than that,” Underwood told Universal Music Nashville. “I feel like the three of us love what we do so much, and we love country music, and it means something, I feel like, to have us up there on that stage kind of driving the bus for the evening and setting the tone.”

Underwood also said that she was “pleased and excited” to shine a light on female representation in country music, and do so with two of of the genre’s biggest icons. “We just want to be respectful of our genre and of this awards show,” she said. “Because it’s so important to us, and shine a light on what I think is the backbone of country music, and that’s the females that have come before all of us and will come in the future.”

“I feel like women are the backbone of country music, when you think back to some of the greatest country artists of all time, like Dolly, Reba, Loretta, Patsy, Tammy — they don’t even need last names,” Underwood said in a separate interview. “They were the ones that taught me how to sing, how to act, how to dress, how to be onstage, and they taught me that anything is possible. They’re why I do what I get to do. I’m glad we’re celebrating that, and hopefully we can keep that legacy going.”

CMA Awards 2019 will be Underwood’s eleventh go as host, though she will be without her longtime show partner Brad Paisley. The latter has not talked about the network’s decision to replace him, but he has made a point of voicing his support for Underwood and the special guest hosts. “As a fan of all 3 of these amazing women, I can’t wait to watch,” he wrote on Twitter alongside a video from the CMA account.
