Martina McBride, Cam, Jennifer Nettles To Open American Country Countdown Awards

Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles and Cam will kick off the 2016 American Country Countdown Awards. The trio will take the stage together for the first time, performing McBride’s 2003 hit, “This One’s For the Girls.”

“I always look forward to singing this song because it resonates with so many different people of all different ages,” said McBride. “With Jennifer and Cam joining me for the first time, the song will be even more fun and I’m so happy we’ll be performing this together.”

The two-hour show will also feature performances from Kelsea Ballerini, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan, Cam, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, Chris Janson, Martina McBride, Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, Carrie Underwood, and Toby Keith’s tribute to Merle Haggard, with Haggard’s longtime band the Strangers.

The American Country Countdown Awards will air live from the Forum in Inglewood, California, on Sunday, May 1 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
