Superstar Kelly Clarkson will appear at the 2022 ACM Awards to deliver a special tribute to the one and only Dolly Parton.
The two-time ACM Award winner revealed the news during The Kelly Clarkson Show, telling viewers she was “super stoked” for the performance. She also surprised her in-studio audience with tickets to the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards, taking place on Monday, March 7 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
“I’m sure Dolly and I will have lots to talk about when she’s a guest on the show in a few weeks. I love her so much,” Clarkson gushed.
Clarkson is no stranger to the ACM Awards. She is a five-time nominee and previously performed at the ACM Awards in 2007, 2013, 2018 and 2019.
The Texas native will soon join forces with Parton on a new version of “9 to 5.” The new rendition coincides with the announcement of Sill Working 9 to 5, a documentary celebrating the iconic film 9 To 5.
