She’s back. Taylor Swift is returning to the CMA Awards stage on Wednesday, Nov. 18 — her first CMA performance in 13 years. Good Morning America announced the news this morning, Friday, Nov. 13 — fittingly, her lucky number.

Swift isn’t just performing — she’s nominated, too. Her Disney/Pixar Toy Story 5 song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” written and produced with Jack Antonoff, is up for Single of the Year. The track hit No. 1 on country radio in September, and it’s her first CMA nomination in four years.

The timing could not be better. The CMA return comes less than a month after Swift was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Oct. 26, a homecoming that capped her journey from Nashville songwriter to global superstar.

Swift knows this stage well. She has delivered eight CMA performances across seven ceremonies and won 12 CMA honors, including the Pinnacle Award in 2013. Now, 13 years after her last CMA performance, she’s taking that stage again — and country music’s biggest night just got a whole lot bigger.
