Collaborations have become a hallmark of awards shows and the upcoming 51st Annual CMA Awards are no different.

Four high-power team-ups are slated for the November show: Kelsea Ballerini & Reba McEntire; Dierks Bentley & Rascal Flatts; Maren Morris & Niall Horan; and Brad Paisley & Kane Brown.

Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley host the CMA's from Nashville on ABC November 8th at 8pm ET. The theme this year is "Heart Of Country," something made clear in the haunting new television promo (watch below).
