2012 CMA Awards to Be Hosted by Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood

Frederick Breedon, FilmMagic

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will return for the fifth year to serve as hosts for the 46th Annual CMA Awards! The two superstars, who began serving as co-hosts in 2008, have already begun preparations for the upcoming show.

"Hanging out with @bradpaisley today," Carrie tweeted (@carrieunderwood). "Just caught him in my make up chair. #suchadiva"

Considering the close friendship between the pair, it's no surprise that they accepted the invitation to host country music's biggest night again. "I love working with Carrie," Brad said before hosting the 2011 ceremony. "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 "Remind Me" duet partners have proven to have great chemistry, not to mention great comedic chops, in years past, making the decision to re-hire them for a fifth year a no-brainer. "We couldn't ask for better hosts than Carrie and Brad," CMA Chief Executive Officer Steve Moore said. "They have the unique qualities of humor, talent, credibility, and natural rapport that makes them a hit with the fans and the industry audience. The CMA Awards are in great hands with Brad and Carrie at the podium."

Brad and Carrie may be the new favorite hosting team, but they are still a long way from Vince Gill's record of 12 consecutive years as host of the CMA Awards. Vince hosted every year from 1992 to 2003.

The 46th Annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville on November 1 at 7:00 PM ET on ABC. What would you like to see on the show? Take our CMA Awards show poll here.

Not watching anymore! She will just make fun of Faith because Faith is a naturally beautiful and extremely talented woman unlike Carrie.

I loathe Carrie. I think she is an arrogant, untalented, dum b*tch! She was so mean to my students and then acts like a nice Christian woman. Please. Her music is not even country. She is just like the other untalented POP divas like Britney, Katy Perry and Rihanna. I hoe Idol stops pushing her down our throats and pushes someone from that show who has talent like Scotty or Kelly Clarkson. Nice Christian women don't dress like hookers either.
