Idol Chatter & Voice Views

For the third straight year, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will host the Country Music Association Awards, according to an announcement made Thursday.

The awards show is set for Wednesday, Nov. 10, in Nashville and will air live from 8 to 10 p.m. on ABC.

Last year, it seemed as though Carrie changed outfits every time she appeared on stage. In fact, she changed outfits more than 10 times.

That’s unlikely to happen this year, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an eye on what the ever-stylish Carrie is wearing.

“I can’t change anymore than I did last year,” Carrie told the Associated Press in a story that moved earlier today. “I don’t think that’s a physical possibility, so I’m not going to try to outdo the costumes.”

Taylor Swift, coming off the release of her mega-popular “Fearless” album, was the big winner last year with four CMA awards, including Entertainer of the Year.

Carrie, of course, is currently riding the success of her third album, “Play On,” which has already yielded three number one country singles.

We’ll find out whether she’s nominated for CMA awards next week.

Justin Moore and Chris Young will announce finalists in seven CMA categories on Tuesday from Nashville; Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley will announce the others during a half-hour segment of “Good Morning America” at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
