Hosted by Kelsea Ballerini and Anthony Mackie, The CMT Music Awards will air on CBS and Paramount+, the performance marks the first time The Judds have performed on a television awards show in more than two decades and their first-ever performance on the CMT Awards together.

In 2011, Wynonna performed alongside Kid Rock to open the award show, while Naomi served as a CMT presenter in 2008 and 2009. 

The performance comes prior to the duo’s induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in May.
