The night will open with a powerful tribute to late country music legend Loretta Lynn, who died on Oct. 4 at the age of 90. Artists participating in the tribute performance have not yet been revealed.

The night's star-studded performances will of course be filled with plenty of epic collaborations with fan-favorite country stars. Ballerini will sing her new song \"YOU'RE DRUNK, GO HOME\" with Clarkson and Pearce, HARDY and Wilson will take the stage to sing their duet \"wait in the truck,\" and Zac Brown Band will perform their song \"Out In The Middle\" with Allen and King.
