Parton tells Billboard she had “the most” fun while hosting the Country Music Awards with Carrie Underwood and Reba McEntire. The publication asked her how she feels about hosting this year’s Country Music Awards.
“I’m real excited about [hosting this year’s Country Music Awards] because I get to work with some of the newer country artists as well,” says Parton. “But I’m just glad to get to host it, because I’m promoting my Run, Rose, Run novel with James Patterson, and I have an album with that.
