^yeah, that one makes it seem like she is hosting. That makes me feel better. Because they have hosted for so long and have been so beloved i really hope its theirs until they make a joint decision to pass the torch to 2 other acts. And when they do, i hope they would actually announce that whatever year is their last they would announce it on that show so that it gives us a year to prepare for it if that makes sense. I will truly be sad whenever they are done hosting.
I have a feeling it could happen any year, but hopefully we get at least a few more out of them. And when it does, i kinda think it might be Thomas & Kelsea who get it since they host the CMA fest show. I could see them getting promoted to the award show and maybe a couple others would start hosting the cma fest show at that time.
But again, hopefully we're talking at least a few more years down the road here.
