Here for Tim, Carrie, Miranda, Keith, Sara, Kenny, Band Perry and Lady A only. Taylor winning EOTY will be the highlight though 
Is 15 performances enough for 3 hours, or are there a few more coming?
And what does Keith Urban even have to promote? I don't think he even has a single out... Oh well, always love his performances.

Keith can just go stand on stage and be flawless.

I'm holding out for a Kelly C performance here..I doubt it... but her label is releasing her country version of Mr. Know It All on April 3 to iTunes.. ironic considering the ACM's are April 1. Kelly doesn't have a tour that night either and will be in LA area..

Taylor's the only EOTY nominee not performing?
*reports ACMs for bias, sexism, unfairness, etc*
