Thirteen years after she last sang on the CMA Awards stage, Taylor Swift is coming back. She will perform at the 60th annual CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
The Country Music Association and ABC announced her return, which comes a decade after her most recent appearance on the show. The announcement does not say what she will perform.
Swift also comes back as a nominee. “I Knew It, I Knew You” is up for Single of the Year, giving her 26 career CMA nominations.
Taylor Swift’s Last CMA Performance Was ‘Red’
Swift’s history with the show goes back two decades. She first attended in 2006, won the Horizon Award in 2007 and became the youngest Entertainer of the Year winner in 2009. According to the CMA, she is still the youngest artist ever to win that honor, which she has won twice.
Her 2013 night was a homecoming of sorts. Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, George Strait, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts presented her with the Pinnacle Award. She had opened for all of them early in her career.
At the same show, she performed “Red” with Vince Gill and Alison Krauss. It was her last performance on the CMA Awards stage.
When and Where to Watch the CMA Awards
Lainey Wilson hosts for the third year in a row. The show airs live Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. Central (8 p.m. Eastern) on ABC and Disney+. It streams on Hulu the next day.
The CMA said presenters will be announced in the coming days. A limited number of tickets remain.
