CMA Awards Lineup Grows

Rodney Atkins and Kellie Pickler are among the latest to join the lineup for next month's 42nd annual Country Music Association Awards. The singers have been tapped to perform during the show. They're also both nominees, each vying for the CMA New Artist of the Year honors. In addition, Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon is on board for the ceremony. The actress, who earned an Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in 2005's "Walk The Line," is the first confirmed presenter. It'll be Witherspoon's second time taking part in the CMA Awards. She also appeared at the annual event three years ago, in conjunction with the Cash biopic's release. The awards show took place just a few days before the film hit theaters. Previously announced performers include co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, along with Trace Adkins, Brooks & Dunn, the Eagles, Kid Rock, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, George Strait, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, and Kenny Chesney who will be performing with the Wailers. The 42nd Annual CMA Awards will air on ABC from the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee on November 12th.
