She will be performing at CMA Awards 2021 with rising stars Brittney Spencer, and Madeline Edwards with a song from her album Remember Her Name. Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde will also flare up the stage with their powerful duet of “Never Wanted to Be That Girl.”
Fans of Dan + Shay fans can now rejoice as the duo was announced to perform a rendition of their hit single “I Should Probably Go To Bed.” On the other hand, Brothers Osborne are cooking up something special, who are slated to deliver a “deeply personal” performance from their album, Skeletons.
