It does seem like a last minute thing but also makes sense. He's in the ABC family with Idol so he's a familiar network friend to turn to when they need it.

I think Luke will be good. He has charisma. It makes sense. He is an American Idol judge after all. A little network synergy there. I actually thought of him the other day just didn’t think much of it. I’m just glad we know who it is!! I wonder if they waited to see if IASTE was going to strike before they announced?? Can’t wait to see who’s performing!!

Given the lack of diversity among the nominees, I think the performers and what they're performing are pretty predictable at this point:
Here's what I have: -Brothers Osborne (I'm Not For Everyone or Younger Me) -Carly Pearce & Ashley McBryde (Never Wanted to Be That Girl) -Chris Stapleton (You Should Probably Leave) -Chris Young & Kane Brown (Famous Friends) -Eric Church (Heart On Fire) -Gabby Barrett (The Good Ones) -Jordan Davis & Luke Bryan (Buy Dirt) -Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney (Half Of My Hometown) -Luke Combs (Forever After All) -Ryan Hurd & Maren Morris (Chasing After You)
Other artists I see performing, but unsure what they would perform: -Carrie Underwood -Jimmie Allen -Mickey Guyton -Thomas Rhett
I would personally love to see Ingrid Andress perform, but the chances of that happening are very low sadly. She definitely had my favorite performance last year!

She definitely had my favorite performance last year! Carrie will most likely perform “If I Didn’t Love You” with Jason Aldean. Or maybe even a new solo single to promote her new Vegas Residency. Jimmie Allen could perform “Freedom Was A Highway” with Brad Paisley. Mickey Guyton will probably perform “Remember Her Name” or “All American” Thomas Rhett could perform “Put It On Ice” Feat. Hardy. A great way to get two nominees on stage .

I'm so confused why Dan + Shay are performing "I Should Probably Go To Bed" when this could be a perfect opportunity to promote "Steal My Love".
I was not a fan of their recent album, so no matter what they're performing, this will be my bathroom break during the show lol.

Hell why doesn't Dan + Shay do "Glad You Exist" as that was an even bigger hit and more recent.

There is…a small, small part of me that thinks Adele and Chris Stapleton will perform together at the CMAs this year. She just namedropped him in her newly-released Vogue interview today as a “dream collaborator,” Stapleton liked it on social media (these answers and interviews are planned out well in advance of when they happen), it’d be right in line with her album release, and that just…feels like it could be a thing that happens. IDK. Just a fun prediction I’m making. Who knows. Could help the show’s ever-floundering ratings dilemma.

That would be awesome if they could get Adele and Chris to perform something. I was also kind of hoping for Chris and Taylor Swift to perform their vault song from Red (Taylor's Version) too, but I doubt that would happen.

Considering she has covered his song before, and the last time she released an album is when Chris became popular, this could be the fullest circle in the making. Side note but I am more interested in that Fortnite tweet by Chris.

I don’t know if it’s a long term thing, but Chris Stapleton’s social media just posted that he’s postponing shows per doctor’s orders. I know the CMAs are a few weeks away, but that might impact the prediction that he’s performing with Adele. Hopefully he’s cleared in time for the show.

His instagram has a message he wrote and to me it sounds like it is just through this weekend.

Brittney Spencer & Madeline Edwards Ashley McBryde & Carly Pearce - Never Wanted to Be That Girl Blake Shelton - Come Back as a Country Boy My wife only recognized Blake & Eric in this photo. She listens to country radio a lot but had no idea who any of the others were. I wonder if this is a problem widespread in the genre….Ppl are just faceless now. We know the songs but not the ppl who sing them.

who is Madeline Edwards? why is shea and Spencer singing on the CMA'S? Mickey can do probably better without them. Just like on the CMT Artist special, the girl who sang with Mickey was terrible. Some singers just dont need other singers singing with them.

I’m fairly sure Mickey cares much more about bringing recognition to Brittney and Madeline than having the spotlight to herself.

Well I for one don’t find diversity in the genre annoying so I’m glad Mickey is trying to bring attention to other talented black artists. It’s great that Mickey has become a staple performer at these award shows but she doesn’t need to be the token black female country artist forever. Radio sure isn’t going to play Brittney, Breland, Madeline, Yola, Tiera, Reyna, Camille, etc. so if Mickey can help them have a breakout moment like she had, then she’s going to do it.

That’s fine but IMO it doesn’t have to be at almost every country celebration place. Putting these females on her debut full length album is what I would’ve done.

Thought it was a little odd that they only have 1 or 2 A listers on the first round of performers.

Yes, it does need to be at every country celebration place. That’s the only damn way they’re gonna get any type of exposure like she had. If you’re so bothered by it, the remote to change the channel is right there. 😒

Mickey desperately needs a hit song if she wants to continue getting performance slots on the awards shows. After this year she can’t be nominated again for new artist and without getting some type of hit song I don’t see her beating out any of the other females for a nomination of FVOTY.
Carrie, Miranda, Carly, Gabby, Maren, Ashley, Ingrid & Kelsea. The category is stacked right now unlike in years past.

Carrie, Miranda, Carly, Gabby, Maren, Ashley, Ingrid & Kelsea. The category is stacked right now unlike in years past. This. I definitely do love see Mickey Guyton perform and am happy for her but she needs a hit or some type of sticking momentum and she needs it fast, as her album released earlier barely debuted on the Country Albums chart, nothing besides "Remember Her Name" has much of a streaming prescence. I constantly feel like with these award show performances that UMG is hoping for Mickey Guyton to have her 'Chris Stapleton' moment back on the 2015 CMA Award show where the performance is show stopping on so many levels and gets almost all the buzz and it just never happens as anytime Mickey Guyton performs it never fully sticks. Also I don't see Mickey getting into female anytime soon as all the names you listed not to mention if they keep getting radio traction I can see artists like Lainey Wilson, Tenille Arts, and Priscilla Block entering the convo for FVOTY before Mickey Guyton.

So many things about these award shows make no sense to me. Obviously Morgan Wallen was nominated for Male Vocalist but they took that nomination away and gave it to Dierks. I love Dierks but Aldean and Shelton heck even Sam Hunt have had more success in the last year than Dierks.

I agree Maddie & Tae and Jake Owen just came off big hits. They should’ve been singing in these shows. Mickey Guyton has a great voice but doesn’t it feel like she’s a little overrated when there are singers like Arts, Stell who don’t get nominated for new artist when they have successful songs. When they’re using Mickey as an example. It’s getting kinda annoying. Just my opinion.

Lmao @ anyone actually saying Yola is a terrible singer. Not even a shit opinion; just patently false. Are you really surprised Mickey is using her performance to shine a light on other black Country artists?! I’m fairly sure Mickey cares much more about bringing recognition to Brittney and Madeline than having the spotlight to herself. sometimes its ok, but it seems like she's doing that all the time now. it can get a little annoying also. You seem far more annoyed by someone being non-racist than you do by any of your faves whenever they actively *are* racist. Please I beg of you, get better.

It’s about who has done better within in the eligibility period. I’m done talking bout this. I gave my opinion that’s all I need .

Anyways, in an attempt to get rid of the stench that’s plagued this page a little bit, I think Mickey/Brittney/Madeline will be a wonderful performance. Included black women in a show like this, regardless of how ~big of radio hits~ they lack, is necessary. Radio is sexist and racist, so if they aren’t going to amplify Mickey & her voice, then good on the CMA producers for opting to take matters into their own hands.
And yes, including black women/not-just-white-people in every country music celebration is necessary, not “annoying.” Evolve.
