Two weeks ago, when CMT announced that Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert would all be performing at the 2014 CMT Music Awards, it was a good day.

At the time, I said, "Now if CMT would just add a little Dan + Shay, Thomas Rhett and Lady Antebellum, I can think of at least one music journalist who would feel like the night was complete!" Well, it appears that the good folks at CMT were either listening or thinking along the same lines! They've just announced a whole slew of acts that will be singing, and with Dan + Shay, Rhett and Lady Antebellum on deck, my dream team is complete!

The Nationwide Insurance Stage will be welcoming Brett Eldredge, Cole Swindell, Dan + Shay, Danielle Bradbery, David Nail, Thomas Rhett and Tyler Farr. In addition to those top artists, Brantley Gilbert, Dierks Bentley, Hunter Hayes, Jake Owen, Jennifer Nettles, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Lee Ann Womack and Little Big Town have all also been confirmed as performers.

Country music's biggest night just got bigger!
