The 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards are about to get a whole lot better!

Kimberly Perry will serve as the co-host for E! News' red carpet coverage Sunday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The Band Perry singer will be on the red carpet rubbing shoulders with country music's biggest names like Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Chris Young, Little Big Town, Chris Janson and many, many more.

Luke Bryan, who won Entertainer of the Year in 2015, and Dierks Bentley will be co-hosting the awards show together for the first time.

This marks Bryan's fourth consecutive turn hosting the evening affair, however. Impressive!

Several stars are expected to take center stage and perform during the 2016 ACM Awards, including Kelsea Ballerini, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood.

And as if that wasn't enough to make country music fans go wild with excitement, the one and only Dolly Parton is slated to perform a duet with Katy Perry.

Parton will also be honored with the Tex Ritter Award for her TV movie Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors, which aired on NBC in 2015.

Three other lucky winners have already been announced ahead of Sunday night's big show.

Ballerini was named the New Female Vocalist of the Year, Stapleton took home the award for New Male Vocalist of the Year and Old Dominion was deemed the New Vocal Duo of the Year.

Congratulations to all and get ready for quite an unforgettable 2016 ACM Awards!
