There will be performances by some of the biggest names in country music, including Blake Shelton, The Band Perry, Pistol Annies, Thompson Square and Eli Young Band.

Other celebrities slated to make appearances include Melissa Lambert, Rachel Bilson, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Aliana.

Voting was open online from Oct. 13 to Nov. 11; and voting for Artist of the Year was extended until Dec. 2.

The American Country Awards will air live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Monday night from 8:00-10:00 p.m. EST on FOX.

But, it all starts with the red carpet, where viewers will see some of the most fabulous fashions worn by the stunning stars of country music.
