She’s always up for an adventure, and Kristen Bell looked excited to getting her hosting duties underway at the 2013 CMT Awards on Wednesday (June 5).

Decked out in designer duds, the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” starlet showed some love to her fans outside the Bridgestone Arena before scurrying inside to take center stage with co-host Jason Aldean.

As the night unfolds, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Luke Bryan & Ryan Tedder, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts & Journey, and Toby Keith will all battle it out for the Performance of the Year honors.

Meanwhile, the Group Video of the Year nominees include Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Pistol Annies, Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, and Zac Brown Band.
