Erin Andrews and Brittany Snow
The CMT Awards should be right on pitch and in step this year since the star of the Pitch Perfect movies, Brittany Snow, has been tapped to co-host the show along with Dancing With The Stars co-host Erin Andrews. The awards show airs live on CMT from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena June 10 at 8 p.m. ET.
“As a longtime fan of CMT and the CMT Music Awards, I’m thrilled to join Erin in hosting what’s sure to be one of the most memorable musical nights of the year,” said Snow.
Andrews adds her CMT hosting gig to her other duties as co-host of the mirror ball dancing competition and as a broadcaster for FOX NFL Sunday. “Being a huge fan of country music, the CMT Music Awards are one of my favorite events of the season,” said Andrews. “I cannot wait to be around all the talented artists and bands and look forward to being a part of such a great event.”
