As the excitement builds for the upcoming CMA Awards, ABC is bringing fans behind-the-scenes and up-close-and-personal with a handful of country music’s biggest acts.

The fifth annual edition of “In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Countdown to the CMA Awards” will feature Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, and the cast of ABC’s “Nashville.”

In the special, Roberts sits down with CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee Jason Aldean at his sold-out show at Boston’s Fenway Park where he opens up to Roberts about fame, family, and tabloid headlines he says helped end his marriage. Fellow CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee Luke Bryan also gets personal on the special as he opens up to ABC News Correspondent Amy Robach about two very private family tragedies that nearly broke him.

Roberts also heads West where she visits Shania Twain backstage (and even onstage!) in Las Vegas where the superstar chats about overcoming her battle with stage fright. Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers on the special as well, helping Roberts count down the top five greatest country music duets of all time.

In addition, Robin Roberts goes on location with the entire cast of the hit ABC Television show “Nashville,” including Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton, and even shoots a very special cameo to appear on the hit series.

“In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Countdown to the CMA Awards,” a Special Edition of “20/20,” airs Tuesday, November 5 (10:00 – 11:00 pm ET) on ABC.
