2023 CMA Awards Performances: Full List [Pictures]

The 2023 CMA Awards featured performances from classic country stars and progressive contemporary artists, plus one moving tribute to a legend.

Jelly Roll opened the CMAs with Wynonna Judd and "Need a Favor," but he was hardly done. He's set to close the show as well, with a stirring cover of the Judds "Love Can Build a Bridge."

Judd wasn't the only surprise performer. Eric Church would join Morgan Wallen to sing "Man Made a Bar" and Post Malone would make his country stage debut with Wallen and Hardy.

Among the legends booked to perform at the CMAs were Alan Jackson, Tanya Tucker and Kenny Chesney. The show always looks for an out-of-genre artist to tie into the show, and this year was no different. Post Malone has been flirting with country music for years, and his collaboration with Morgan Wallen and Hardy leaves many wondering if he's got something concrete in his future.
