Hootie and the Blowfish front man Darius Rucker.When the 56th annual Grammy Awards airs live on January 26, 2014, on CBS 8/7 CT, country music fans will rejoice as both old favorites and new faces come together to perform and compete for the honors.

A very special Grammy moment will happen when Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Blake Shelton take the stage together for a performance you don't want to miss. Though Kris, Willie and Blake are veterans of the Grammy stage, this will be the first time Merle Haggard has performed on the show.

Taylor Swift will perform in between waiting to find out if she will take home any of the four awards she's up for.

Kacey Musgraves, the country darling of 2013, will hit the stage as will Keith Urban and Hunter Hayes.
