If Kelsea and Reba have to share, I doubt she gets a spot unfortunately. Any idea on what Kelsea & Reba would sing? I am actually kind of excited about it!

Wait. Kane Brown. He...isn't even nom'd for anything. Lord help me, if Lauren Alaina is delegated to a presenter spot... I can see Lauren being a presenter, but I also think she'll get one of those really short performance slots that typically go to the artists nominated for New Artist. So maybe she gets like a minute or 1:30 to perform, and then it segues into her announcing some radio station winners or whatever. The only New Artist nominees that I expect to get a full performance are Jon Pardi and Old Dominion (both of whom have already been announced as performers), since Jon also has nominations in Single and Song of the Year and Old Dominion is also up for Vocal Group. I'm expecting just short performances for Brett Young, Luke Combs, and Lauren Alaina, and I'd imagine all of them will be presenters as well. As I posted in my predictions, I think Jon Pardi is most likely to win New Artist due to his nominations in Single and Song of the Year (I'm still stunned that "In Case You Didn't Know" didn't get nominated for anything...if it had, then I think Brett Young would have won New Artist). I doubt Lauren gets to perform. If Kelsea and Reba have to share, I doubt she gets a spot unfortunately. Any idea on what Kelsea & Reba would sing? I am actually kind of excited about it! RE: Lauren, see my response to 14887fan. RE: Kelsea and Reba...my guess is that Kelsea starts by singing "Legends", but then customizes it a little bit, introducing Reba as one of the biggest legends of all time, and then Reba comes forward and sings one of her (Reba's) songs, with Kelsea joining her again near the end. Just a guess though lol.

Prediction: Niall Horan will get significantly less blow back than Beyonce Well TBF and while I do love Beyoncé and her music, she is unfortunately a pretty controversial figure. She is one of the most well known singers out there, she has basically left her mark in music no matter what and her name is one of the most recognizable names out there. But she is a lot more polarizing than Niall Horan and people will unfortunately pick apart the tiniest thing she does or says. Niall Horan on the other hand, while I wouldn't say he's acclaimed is a lot less polarizing, and doesn't bring instant controversy that Beyoncé does bring unfortunately.

Just curious. I think country awards shows should be reserved for country songs, so I have a problem with pop songs being performed. I do not care who the pop singer is. The rendition of Daddy's Lesson that Beyonce did at CMA's was "more country" than 75% of the other new songs performed, same with the JT song. I had problems with neither. This Niall song (probably) won't be. But that literally has nothing to do with what's being discussed, because it literally has nothing to do with the actual music.

Yay! Happy to see Faith performing again. At the CMAs...
Surprised by P!NK o.O She's had a country hit with Kenny, but it seems like she's performing alone... right?

I would imagine Pink is performing alone. Her duet with Kenny Chesney, Setting The World On Fire is a year old (even though it is nominated for Musical Event).

I really hope that Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood are performing separately. I don't need "The Fighter" on the award shows for the fourth time. Especially since it peaked a while back.

If Keith is performing with P!nk than that probably means Carrie Underwood will perform a lead single.

I think Pink might be performing solo? All of the other collabs were announced as actual collabs, complete with split ad mats and all. Curious to see which direction this goes in. Don't know if her and Kenny have ever done STWOF live together? I lied. She's performing with Keith.
And lol Keith and Carrie are not doing "The Fighter" again. I have faith, confidence, and am damn-near positive they wouldn't do it again. They already did it at the ACMs, Grammys, and CMTs.

Would that be the first time an artist who isn't labelled country has performed on the CMAS solo?

The P!nk addition is weird, but I like her so we'll see where that goes. I wonder if she'll sing and then transition to STWOF with Kenny?

I'm so hoping that what Keith Urban is performing is not "The Fighter" with P!nk as that would be such a let down. Isn't Keith Urban supposed to have new music soon so maybe he has a new song with P!nk.

But if P!nk truly is duetting with Keith, then it will be even more interesting and weird, in a good way (hopefully)!

I thought for sure when I saw Pink announced as a performer that she and Kenny would finally perform STWOF together because it's so obvious, but then to come here and see that Kenny's not even going to be there and she's performing with Keith instead?! I'm so confused.

This all but confirms that new music is coming from Carrie within the next 14 days, now that the ever-so-mere possibility of her and Keith performing "The Fighter" is off the table. YAY.

I really hope Shania Twain gets announced as a performer for the show. That would just make total sense given who she is and that her comeback album just hit stores a month ago. It would be wonderful to see her up there performing something new again.

Interesting that Pink and Keith Urban are performing together. Maybe his lead single will feature her? Surprising due to the recent Kenny collaboration, but I'm all for as much new Pink music as possible, so I would definitely be in favour of it!
