Reba and Darius Rucker will perform “In the Ghetto” tonight to pay tribute to the late country legend and three-time CMA Awards host Mac Davis. The song, which the pair recorded last month, will be available at midnight ET, tonight, following their CMA Awards performance.

Meanwhile, the two hosts posted to their socials a picture of them standing by their respective buses yesterday (11/10).

Reba wrote, "We may be six feet apart, but a little social distancing hasn’t stopped @dariusrucker and I from getting ready for a great #cmaawards show tomorrow night!"

Darius posted, "Y’all ready for the #CMAawards tomorrow? Great day of rehearsals with @reba! We can’t wait!!"

The CMA Awards air live tonight from Nashville’s Music City Center (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) on ABC.
