Kelsea Ballerini, Maddie & Tae and More Country Ladies Added to 2015 CMA Awards Performance Lineup

The 2015 CMA Awards are going to be chock full of girl power. Four female acts have been added to the lineup of performers for the upcoming awards show.

Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Maddie & Tae and Kacey Musgraves have joined the awards show's performance roster, which already includes Eric Church and Hank Williams Jr., who will open the show, and Thomas Rhett and Fall Out Boy, who will team up for a performance during Country Music’s Biggest Night. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, who will return as the show's hosts, will each be performing as well.

"From Miranda Lambert's explosive debut CMA performance in New York in 2005 to Reba [McEntire]'s performance in that famous red dress that now resides in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the females in our format deliver some of the most dynamic and talked about awards moments," says CMA Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern, "and this year should be no different."
