Taylor Swift to Perform at the CMA Awards for the First Time in 13 Years on November 18 in Nashville

Friday, November 13, 2026 · Music · GSM News

The Country Music Association (CMA) and ABC announced on November 13 that Taylor Swift will perform at the 60th Annual CMA Awards, marking her return to the CMA Awards stage 13 years after her last performance and a decade after her most recent appearance at the show.

The 60th Annual CMA Awards airs live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena in Tennessee on Wednesday, November 18, from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC and Disney+, and will be available the next day on Hulu. Lainey Wilson hosts for a third consecutive year. Swift's performance song has not been announced.

A two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year, Swift is nominated this year for Single of the Year with 'I Knew It, I Knew You,' her 26th career CMA nomination. Her history with the CMA Awards spans two decades: she first attended in 2006, won her first CMA Award, the Horizon Award, in 2007, and in 2009 became the youngest Entertainer of the Year winner in the show's history, a record she still holds.

At the 2013 CMA Awards, Swift received the Pinnacle Award and performed 'Red' with Vince Gill and Alison Krauss, her last performance on the CMA Awards stage. (Source: Country Music Association)
