Taylor Swift will perform at the 60th CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 18, her first performance at the country music ceremony since 2013. The announcement came Friday, November 13.
Swift last sang at the CMAs 13 years ago, when she performed an acoustic version of "Red" with Alison Krauss and Vince Gill. She married Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in July.
Who else is on the bill
Swift joins a lineup that includes Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Cody Johnson, Tucker Wetmore, Tim McGraw, Zach Top and The Red Clay Strays. Lainey Wilson hosts.
The ceremony takes place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
A nomination too
Swift is also up for Single of the Year with "I Knew It, I Knew You," her original song for Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story 5." It is her first CMA nomination in four years.
After the nominees were revealed in September, the 36-year-old said she would attend the show for the first time in 10 years. She wrote on her Instagram Stories: "LOOKS LIKE I HAVEN'T YEE'D MY LAST HAW THANK YOU CMA!!!! See you there Nov. 18." A cowboy emoji followed.
How to watch
The CMA Awards air live on ABC and Disney+ on November 18. The show will be available to stream on Hulu the next day.
Swift has another event this week. The Hollywood Reporter's annual Women in Entertainment breakfast gala in Los Angeles will give her the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, and director Greta Gerwig will present the prize.
