During rehearsals for the ceremony, Jelly Roll, the most nominated male performer at this year’s CMA Awards, told ET that “there’s no greater honor” than opening the show.

“I would pray that one day I could be a fly on the wall and look back in history in that boardroom, and I just want to know who suggested it, right? ‘Cause somebody had to sit around a big table of important people and go, ‘I think Jelly Roll should open the show,’” he said. “Whoever did it, I just want to kiss them on the mouth.”

He also teased a surprise guest, saying, “I’ll have a special guest. I’m not telling nobody who it is.”Jelly Roll and Wynonna Judd

Jelly Roll will also close this year’s show, as he teams up with K. Michelle to pay tribute to mother-daughter duo The Judds with “Love Can Build a Bridge.” The performance will follow Naomi Judd’s April 2022 death.

“The first thing I said was, ‘I won’t do this without Wynonna’s blessing. Even before I did the song or recording. I called Wynonna,” Jelly Roll told ET on Wednesday’s red carpet in Nashville. “I have an immense amount of respect for Wynonna, I grew up listening to The Judds. I love Wynonna. And she said, ‘Not only do I want you to do it. I want you to do it big!’”
