The 2020 CMA Awards will look a little different than in years past. In addition to COVID-19 having an effect, there will be plenty of non-country music stars joining in on the action. Dan+Shay, who are up for several awards, will be performing "10,000 Hours" with Justin Bieber. Charlie Puth, the smooth pop crooner, will also be performing live for the awards show.
Co-hosting duties for the 54th annual awards show will fall to Darius Rucker and Reba McEntire. You can also expect performances by Maren Morris, Luke Combs, and Miranda Lambert.
Speaking of Luke Combs, the country music star is well represented throughout the nomination categories including entertainer of the year. Joining Combs in the top category is Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Miranda Lambert. The country event will be broadcast on ABC so you can catch the music in a number of different ways.
