Carrie Underwood to Perform at 2015 American Music Awards

Carrie Underwood will perform at the 2015 American Music Awards.

The Oklahoma native posted the good news on her Facebook page on Wednesday (Oct. 21), saying that she is "[s]o excited to play on the American Music Awards on November 22nd!!!"

Underwood is nominated for one American Music Award this year, for Favorite Female Artist -- Country, along with Miranda Lambert and Kelsea Ballerini. Other performers already announced for the 2015 AMAs televised broadcast include Selena Gomez and 5 Seconds of Summer.

The "Smoke Break" singer will release her latest album, Storyteller, on Friday (Oct. 23). The 13-track record is her first studio album since 2012's Blown Away.

“There are some things on there that are definitely familiar, but there’s a lot of growth that has happened, as well,” Underwood explains. “It’s going to sound a little bit different — still the things that fans will obviously know is me. I’m not going crazy or anything, but it’s a little bit of a shift.”

In addition to "Smoke Break," the country superstar has also given fans a sneak peak of three other songs on the record: "Heartbeat," "Renegade Runaway" and "What I Never Knew I Always Wanted." All of the songs are available as instant downloads for fans who pre-order Storyteller on iTunes.

Sam Hunt leads the pack of country American Music Awards nominees in 2015, with three nods. Hunt is nominated for Favorite Male Artist -- Country, Favorite Album -- Country, for Montevallo, and the all-genre New Artist of the Year.

The 2015 American Music Awards will air live on ABC from Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater on Nov. 22. Jennifer Lopez will host the event.
