Bryan is co-hosting the awards with football star Peyton Manning. On Tuesday, he shared on Instagram that he’ll also be performing his song “Country On” during the broadcast, which will take place on Wednesday, November 9, on ABC.
Clarkson also took to Instagram on Tuesday to share that she’ll be performing at the awards alongside Carly Pearce and Kelsea Ballerini. The trio will be singing their track “You’re Drunk, Go Home,” which was released last month.
“You’re Drunk, Go Home” appears on Ballerini’s fourth studio album Subject to Change. The song is about rejecting a guy who’s drunkenly flirting. As the chorus goes, “You’re drunk, go home / If you’re trying to hook up / Gotta do it alone / The way you’re slurring and the way you stumble / Ain’t no way you’re gonna get my number.”
