CMA reveals first acts for its 60th awards.

The 2027 ceremony now has its first glimpse of a lineup: the Country Music Association and ABC say the opening group includes eight performers. Among the names announced are Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, Tim McGraw, Kacey Musgraves, Cody Johnson, Zach Top and The Red Clay Strays. Langley also leads the 2026 CMA nominations, with nine. So the first look at the 60th show comes with this year's top nominee already on the performer list.
