A Star-Studded Night of Performances

Expect the unexpected as Dierks Bentley teams up with bluegrass sensations Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes to bring a touch of Americana with a rendition of Tom Petty’s "American Girl." Meanwhile, Lainey Wilson will be performing her latest hit “4x4xU,” and two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan will treat fans to his 31st No. 1 smash “Love You, Miss You, Mean It.”

Can’t-Miss Collaborations

Brace yourselves for some jaw-dropping duets! Post Malone, a first-time CMA nominee with four nods, will share the stage with Chris Stapleton to perform “California Sober”—a combo sure to stir things up! And for the first time ever, Thomas Rhett and soul-pop phenom Teddy Swims will join forces, blending Rhett's hit “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman” with Swims’ “Lose Control” for a unique genre-bending mashup.

Fresh Faces & Breakthrough Performances

This year, the CMA stage welcomes newcomers making waves in country music. Shaboozey, nominated for the first time with two nods, will perform a medley of his chart-topper “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and his new single “Highway.” With Post Malone’s deeply personal “Yours” tribute to his daughter and Ashley McBryde’s powerhouse performance as a nominee for CMA Female Vocalist, it’s a night packed with heartfelt moments and memorable hits.
