Three-time CMA Awards nominated group this year Brothers Osborne will also deliver a personal performance from their CMA Album of the Year-nominated Skeletons, while CMA New Artist of the Year nominee Mickey Guyton will welcome Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards for a collaboration from her debut album, Remember Her Name. Two-time nominee Carly Pearce and three-time nominee Ashley McBryde will perform “Never Wanted to Be That Girl,” and 10-time CMA Awards-winner Blake Shelton will bring his “Come Back as a Country Boy” to the CMA Awards stage.
