This year’s CMT Awards are shaping up to be an unforgettable night of music, especially with the announcement that country music powerhouses Little Big Town and Sugarland will share the stage for a highly anticipated performance. This marks a significant moment, as it will be the first time since 2013 that these two groups have performed together at the CMT Music Awards. The announcement, made during a March Madness game, has fans eagerly awaiting to discover which song the two bands will bring to life at the ceremony on April 7.
Little Big Town, consisting of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook, is no stranger to the CMT stage, making their 13th appearance this year. Meanwhile, Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush are reuniting for their first CMT Awards performance since 2011, adding a layer of excitement and nostalgia to the evening.
They join an impressive lineup of performers, including Bailey Zimmerman, Jelly Roll, Jordan Davis, and host Kelsea Ballerini, among others. With nominations for both Little Big Town and Sugarland in various categories, the night promises to celebrate the best in country music, from enduring hits to groundbreaking achievements in equality and activism.
