Cole has been selected as one of the celebrity judges for the event, following in the country footsteps of Brett Eldredge, who served as a Miss America judge last year. Cole will be joined by celebrity judges Mark Cuban, actress Sara Foster and former Miss America Sharlene Wells Hawkes. Chris Harrison and Sage Steele will serve as co-hosts.
