Musician Toby Keith and Veronica Mars alum Kristen Bell will host this year’s CMT Music Awards, set to go down June 6 in Nashville, Tennessee.

John Hamlin, CMT’s Senior Vice President of Music Events and Talent, made the announcement on Monday:

“Toby Keith and Kristen Bell are a terrific one-two knockout punch for the 2012 CMT Music Awards. Toby has been involved with our show every year since its inception and Kristen is as entertaining and witty as any young actor working today. We’re thrilled to have them both as hosts for this year’s show.”

Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Kenny Chesney, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley and Zac Brown Band are already confirmed to be performing at next month’s prize-giving. Additional acts will be announced in the coming weeks.
Carrie leads this year’s nods with five nominations. Miranda Lambert nabbed four hat-tips and Taylor Swift received three.
