Lady Antebellum will be performing with the legendary Stevie Nicks at Sunday night’s (April 6th) ACM Awards, where they have four nominations, including Vocal Group of the Year, as well as Vocal Event, Single and Song of the Year for “Wagon Wheel” with Darius Rucker.
The group is very excited to team up with the Fleetwood Mac member once again. Last year, they teamed up with Stevie for CMT Crossroads, which was her idea, and Lady A’s Charles Kelley said last year that it was going to be one of the highlights of their career.
“It actually came from her, man, this is the craziest thing. She had a dream one night she joined Lady Antebellum,” he recalls. “So, we’re on the phone with her and she’s telling us this, and I’m like, ‘Um, do you really want to join Lady Antebellum? ‘Cause you can, if you like.’ And it was just really cool. She’s so inspiring, and it’s gonna be one of the most special things for us in our career by far, so it’ll be something that we’ll be soaking in.”
The foursome will perform “Golden,” which is the title cut from Lady A’s latest album and one of Stevie’s favorites from the record. The trio co-wrote the song with labelmate Eric Paslay.
The 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas April 6th at 8pm ET/delayed PT on CBS.

“We’ve been obviously huge fans of Fleetwood Mac for the longest time, and to have that opportunity. It actually came from her, man, this is the craziest thing. She had a dream one night she joined Lady Antebellum. So, we’re on the phone with her and she’s telling us this, and I’m like, ‘Um, do you really want to join Lady Antebellum? ‘Cause you can, if you like.’ And it was just really cool.
