Taylor Swift will perform on the CMA Awards Wednesday for the first time in 13 years, ABC and the Country Music Association announced Friday morning.

Swift had already publicly declared, upon getting a CMA nomination this year, that she would attend the show, but there was no indication until now on how or whether she intended on participating in the show beyond being an audience member.
