The good news continues to roll in for country music legend Dolly Parton. One day after being nominated for induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dolly Parton has been tapped to host the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards.
“Watch for us because we’re going to have some fun,” Parton shared in a statement obtained by Deadline.
“Dolly is the most iconic and multitalented artist of all time, and we are proud that she is a friend and supporter of the Academy, a previous host, and a 13-time Academy of Country Music Award recipient,” Academy of Country Music CEO Damon Whiteside added.
Parton’s co-hosts will be named at a later date and nominations will be revealed next week. The full award show will air live without interruption on Amazon Prime at 8 p.m. EST from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
