CMT Music Awards: Jason Aldean to Co-Host With Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell is returning to the CMT Awards this summer, and this time, she’s bringing Jason Aldean.
The duo will host this year’s country music celebration on June 5 from Nashville's Bridgeston Arena, they announced on Twitter Thursday.
“I had so much fun hosting the CMT Awards last year, so I was thrilled to be invited back this year,” says Bell. “I think Jason Aldean is one of country music’s best and promises to be an excellent co-host.”
“I’m always looking for new challenges,” said Aldean.
“Hosting a show has always seemed fun, but it has never felt like the right time. I think now that I’ve checked a few big things off my bucket list recently, I want to keep pushing myself. I’m excited that I’ll have Kristen to lean on, too… She and I have spent a little time together, and she always cracks me up. Plus, I heard she’s got a thing for ‘Big Green Tractors,’ so we’ve got that in common.”
Aldean is an 11-time CMT Award nominee and has been a CMT Artist of the Year honoree each of the three years the titles have been awarded. His Night Train Tour has already made history this year, making him the first country act to sell out Boston’s Fenway Park.
In fact, the tour has sold out every date thus far, including Madison Square Garden, two nights in Fenway and another stop at Chicago’s Wrigley Field.
