Two of music's most colorful figures of different eras, Dolly Parton and Katy Perry, will unite for an unlikely duet at this year's 51st Academy of Country Music Awards.
With Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors television movie set to be honored with the Tex Ritter Award, the singer will be joined on stage by Perry for their first-ever live performance together.
They join previously announced performers such as Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Brett Eldredge, Sam Hunt, Tim McGraw, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and others.
The ACMs will air live from Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena starting at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, April 3.
