Swift returns to the CMA stage after 13 years and enters with 26 career nominations, including Single of the Year for her "Toy Story 5" song.
On Friday, November 13, 2026, the Country Music Association announced Taylor Swift will perform at the 60th annual CMA Awards, marking her first appearance on the ceremony's stage in 13 years.
Swift last performed at the 2013 ceremony, where she received the Pinnacle Award and sang "Red" alongside Alison Krauss and Vince Gill.
Nominated for Single of the Year for "I Knew It, I Knew You," the singer-songwriter wrote the track for Toy Story 5, marking her 26th career CMA nomination.
The show airs live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 18, on ABC and Disney+, with streaming available the following day on Hulu.
This appearance marks the 20th anniversary of her first CMA debut, and she remains the youngest artist to win the Entertainer of the Year award, a title she secured in 2009.
