Taylor Swift will perform at the CMA Awards for the first time in 13 years

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 13) — Taylor Swift will perform at the 60th CMA Awards next week, her first performance at the ceremony in 13 years, the Country Music Association and ABC announced Friday.

Swift had already said she would attend after earning a nomination this year, but there had been no word on whether she would take part beyond sitting in the audience, Variety reported. The association did not say what she will sing. She is nominated for single of the year for "I Knew It, I Knew You," her 26th career CMA nomination, according to the association.

Swift's history with the show goes back two decades. She first attended in 2006, won the Horizon Award in 2007 and in 2009 became the youngest artist ever to win entertainer of the year, a record she still holds, the association said. Her last performance on the CMA stage came in 2013, when she received the Pinnacle Award and sang "Red" with Vince Gill and Alison Krauss. Her most recent appearance of any kind was in 2016, when she presented the entertainer of the year award to Garth Brooks, Variety reported.

She joins a lineup that already includes Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Mumford & Sons, Miranda Lambert and host Lainey Wilson, as previously announced. Swift, who married Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in July, Good Morning America reported, will be on the show's stage for the first time since releasing her first song in more than a decade marketed to country radio.

The 60th CMA Awards air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 8 to 11 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and stream the next day on Hulu.
