Taylor Swift will perform at the 2026 CMA Awards, her first performance at the annual awards ceremony in over a decade.

The superstar singer-songwriter, who married Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in July, last sang at the CMAs in 2013, when she performed an acoustic version of "Red" alongside Alison Krauss and Vince Gill.
