The Country Music Association Awards announced that "special guest hosts" Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire will join Carrie Underwood during the Nov. 13 event. The organization says the show will celebrate "legendary women in Country Music throughout the ceremony."

The CMA Awards will air live on ABC from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
