For her debut performance, Stefani will be taking the stage alongside country songstress Carly Pearce, but she won't be the only first-timer at the event. Alanis Morissette is also expected to give her first CMT Awards performance while joined by Ingrid Andress, Lainey Wilson, Madeline Edwards and Morgan Wade in celebration of the 10-year anniversary of CMT's Next Women of Country franchise.
