They are set to perform a cover of U2’s “Pride.” Kelsea Ballerini will be performing with Kenny Chesney and introducing their brand new single, Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd will also introduce a new song this Sunday as well. Country stars, Elle King and Miranda Lambert, are also slated to perform their latest hit, “Drunk!” It will be an amazing night for sure! You can tune in this Sunday night on CBS.
