There's a new co-host for the 2020 CMT Music Awards — and she can't wait to make her debut.

On Friday, it was announced that singer Ashley McBryde will host the award show alongside fellow country star Kane Brown and Modern Family alum Sarah Hyland.

The show will air live from Nashville on Oct. 21 at 8 p.m. EST.

"I am beyond excited, and maybe a little nervous, to host an awards show for the very first time," McBryde, 37, said in a statement. "Luckily, it's not all about me. It's about celebrating badass music videos and the brilliant men and women that help us create them. I've loved watching and being part of this event in the past and I think the fans are really going to enjoy what we have planned for them. It's going to be a blast!"

CMT is happy to have McBryde on board.
