“One of the highlights of 2019 and of my entire career so far was being on stage with the legends that are Reba and Dolly Parton. I’m so proud that we could celebrate the incredible female artists that are part of the legacy of country music, past, present and future, and I’m thankful for the huge audiences all over the world that tuned in to see it,” Underwood wrote. “It’s hard to believe that it was my 12th year hosting and I will always treasure every show, from the 11 that I was so lucky to do with my partner in crime and friend for life, Brad Paisley, to sharing the stage with two of my all-time heroes.

Underwood made sure to take time in her Instagram post to also share her gratitude for the CMAs and a snippet of what’s to come next for the superstar.

“I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone involved with the CMA Awards all these years. It’s hard to imagine topping what we have accomplished together, so I’ve decided that it’s time to pass the hosting torch (at least for now!) to others that will cherish it and honor it as much as I do,” Underwood further explained. “I’ve got so many exciting things coming in the new year and beyond, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for all of us. #blessed #MemorableMoments.” How sweet is that?!

The Country Music Awards shared their own gratitude for Underwood via Twitter. “We love you, Carrie! You’ll always be family to us. Thanks for 12 amazing years hosting the #CMAawards. We look forward to working with you in 2020 and beyond to help spread Country Music to fans around the world!” 

Hopefully more free time for Underwood will mean some extra family time with husband Mike Fisher and her children. Professionally, the “Before He Cheats” singer will be wrapping up her Cry Pretty Tour. We can’t wait to see what else is next for her in 2020!
