Buckle up, country music fans. CMT just announced a massive reunion bigger than the Lone Star State. 

The network revealed (March 28) that Little Big Town and award-winning duo  Sugarland will join forces at the 2024 CMT Music Awards on Sunday, April 7. The two groups shared the stage 15 years ago with Jake Owen for a chilling rendition of "Life In A Northern Town."

The duo, composed of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, won their first CMT Award for "Breakthrough Video of the Year" with "Baby Girl" in 2005. They have performed at the CMT Awards previously with their incredible rendition of "Love Shack," a touching performance of "Stand Up," and gave a sneak peek of their Mad Men-inspired music video for "Babe" in 2018, which marked their highly anticipated return as a duo. 

In 2020, Nettles was recognized with the "CMT Equal Play Award" for supporting women in the music industry, LGBTQ+ community, and other underrepresented groups.
