It’s official: Queen Bey is performing at the 50th Annual CMA Awards tonight.

With a star-studded lineup filled with country acts both new and old with a few multi-genre famed faces thrown into the mix as well, Beyoncé will add her touch to the iconic country music awards show, according to iHeartRadio.

While Beyoncé is known for her R&B-pop infused mega-hits, she’ll be hitting the stage with her native Texas roots in mind to channel the historic 50 years of the genre that CMA has honored through the awarding of trophies. Last year, Justin Timberlake brought his Memphis-blues style to his duet with Chris Stapleton on “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Drink You Away.”

It’s still unconfirmed whether or not the music icon will be performing solo or alongside other country stars, but it’s no doubt that it will cause great excitement throughout the crowd.

Hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will lead the night off to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the CMA Awards, which will be airing live from Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
