Gwyneth Paltrow to Perform "Country Strong" on CMA Awards Show

Academy Award winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow (2002 Shakespeare In Love) will make her live country music singing debut in November when she performs "Country Strong," the titular song for her upcoming film of the same name, on the CMA Awards telecast.

In her first-ever appearance at the CMA Awards, Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow will make her live Country Music singing debut on "The 44th Annual CMA Awards," Wednesday, Nov. 10 (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Paltrow performs the title track from her forthcoming feature film, "Country Strong," and is joined in her CMA Awards performance by legendary singer Vince Gill. RCA Nashville will release the original motion picture soundtrack to "County Strong" on Oct. 26.

Paltrow and Tim McGraw, along with Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester, star in the big-screen drama, "Country Strong," set to hit theaters this winter.

Soon after a rising young singer-songwriter (Hedlund) becomes romantically involved with Paltrow's character, Kelly Canter, the pair embarks on a career resurrection tour helmed by her husband/manager (McGraw) and featuring a beauty-queen-turned-singer (Meester). In between concerts, romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.

Written and directed by Shana Feste and produced by Tobey Maguire and Jenno Topping, Country Strong hits theaters in Los Angeles and Nashville on Dec. 22 and nationwide on Jan. 7, 2011.

Yesterday the CMA Announced Taylor Swift as another performer on the program as well.
