Taylor Swift is at the top of the country music scene. The "Red" songstress is nominated for six CMA awards, alongside fellow country music diva, newcomer Kacey Musgraves. The singer/songwriter faces some tough competition for the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, and so she is bringing in some of country music's big guns to back her up during her performance. Vince Gill and Alison Krauss will join the starlet on stage.
During the live ceremony on ABC, November, 6, all five of the Entertainer of the Year nominees will perform. Taylor Swift is hoping to best Jason Aldean, George Strait, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, by bringing in a few of her friends. Musicians Vince Gill and Alison Krauss will join the starlet for a special performance of "Red."
Swift isn't the only artist getting a hand, Zac Brown will be helped out by Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters and Nirvana, and Hunter Hayes will be joined by pop singer Jason Mraz.
