AceShowbiz - Blake Shelton know the upcoming Country Music Association Awards is going to be "awkward." During a visit to "Late Night with Seth Meyers", the country music crooner said he's certain that the hosts would crack jokes about his divorce from fellow country singer Miranda Lambert.
"This year is going to be awkward at the CMAs, speaking of jokes," he said. "[Country music] is such a family. Everybody there is friends, you know? There's gotta be one about me and Miranda. [Co-host] Brad Paisley is not doing his job if he doesn't look down there and go, 'Haha!' I mean, he's gotta do it."
"You have to address the elephant in the room," Shelton continued. "We've had the conversations, like, 'Okay, dude, I will go sit there and let you kick me in the face a few times. I know it's coming, you know."
The CMAs will air live November 4 from Nashville with Carrie Underwood and Paisley back as hosts.
