Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning to Co-Host 2022 CMA Awards /  by Guest User

Two-time CMA Awards entertainer of the year winner Luke Bryan and NFL star Peyton Manning will host the 56th annual CMA Awards on Nov. 9 on ABC from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. This will mark Bryan’s second year hosting the show, after first hosting the CMA Awards in 2021; it will be former Colts/Broncos superstar Manning’s first time serving as CMA Awards host.

Manning, who has made four Super Bowl appearances and won two Super Bowls during his 18-season career, is no stranger to the CMA Awards. In 2016, Manning was part of a comedic skit with then-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, and also presented the CMA’s pinnacle award to Kenny Chesney.

“Being a part of such a historical night that honors my peers and country music is such a privilege,” Bryan said via a statement. “When I was asked if Peyton Manning was someone I would consider co-hosting with I didn’t hesitate. We have become great friends through the years and what he brings to the table is gonna make it even more of a blast. I know he’s been to the CMA Awards before, but he’s never been with me. Hey Peyton, I hope you’re ready for the night of your life!”

In addition to being a two-time CMA Awards host, Bryan is also a two-time CMA Awards winner, earning the coveted entertainer of the year honor in 2014 and 2015 (he has been nominated in the CMA Awards’ top category six consecutive times, from 2013-2018). Read more here.

With heartfelt lyrics igniting the spark of a friendship-turned-more, the duo – comprised of brothers Christian and Brody Clementi – sing:

I don’t wanna wait for someday someday, I get to thinking and I think about you

Kinda glad we took the long way long way, Now there’s only one thing left to do 

You and I both know we could have it all, Just fall 

“From the day I wrote ‘Just Fall’ with Bryce and Jon, I knew it was one that our fans would relate to,” shares Christian. Brody adds, “We are so pumped to get this song out into the world. Hope y’all dig it!”

Their performance on the CMT Music Awards was called “arguably the night’s top must watch performance” by the Tennessean; Country Now claimed Swindell and Wilson “brought their A-game to the CMT Music Awards” and CMT.com exclaimed “they did not disappoint” with their performance.
