Some of the biggest acts in country are, of course, taking the stage at the upcoming Country Music Association Awards. Today (Sept. 15), it was announced that nominees Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and Keith Urban have been added to the CMAs live lineup.
According to People, the trio have all been added to the performance lineup after being nominated for Entertainer of the Year. They join fellow Entertainer of the Year nominee Luke Bryan as the live entertainment thus far. As of publication time, the fifth Entertainer of the Year nominee, legend George Strait has not been announced as an official performer.
The addition of Lambert as a live performer should be no real surprise - she leads the CMA Awards nominations, with nods in seven categories. In addition to being up for Entertainer of the Year, she's also up for Album of the Year (Platinum), Song of the Year ("Automatic"), Female Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year ("Automatic"), Musical Event of the Year ("Something Bad," "We Were Us") and Music Video of the Year ("Automatic," "Something Bad").
Urban and Shelton are also nominated in other catgeories. Urban is up for four awards: Musical Event of the Year ("We Were Us"), Album of the Year (Fuse) and Male Vocalist of the Year in addition to Entertainer of the Year. Shelton is nominated in Male Vocalist of the Year and Single of the Year ("Mine Would Be You") alongside the top prize.
And it will all go down at 8 p.m. on Nov. 5 on ABC.
The 2014 CMA Awards will be hosted (once again) by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley.
