Additionally, Allen will soon guest star in Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas, which will also feature Miley Cyrus, Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson, Billy Ray Cyrus and Zach Williams. The film will air on NBC later this year.

Allen is currently in the midst of touring with Carrie Underwood on her massive headlining trek, dubbed the Denim & Rhinestones Tour, which kicked off on October 15 in Greenville, South Carolina.

The 43-city trek runs through March 17, 2023. Tickets for the Denim & Rhinestones Tour are on sale now.

Allen recently opened up about the opportunity to tour with Underwood and said he believes her audience will embrace his unique musical style.

“I feel like with Carrie’s audience, I’ll be able to do my country stuff, my more pop-leaning stuff, my more Christian-leaning music,” Allen told E Online co-hosts Justin Sylvester and Loni Love. “I feel like I can be myself in its entirety musically without feeling like, ‘You know what? Maybe we should do this,’ even though I don’t ever do that.”

The 56th Annual CMA Awards will feature performances from Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Cody Johnson, and Carly Pearce.
