“It’s definitely gonna be heartfelt,” Underwood previously said via PEOPLE. “I love the fact that there’s a theme happening. I hope that’s kind of something that maybe we adopt for future CMAs.”
“I feel like Dolly and Reba are both so good at those one-liners that just kill,” she added. “I can’t imagine there not being some of those in there.”
The 2019 CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
