Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum Among Highlights Of ABC's CMA Fest Special

Taylor Swift fans will soon get the chance to hear the singer's live debut of her new single, "Mine." The performance is among the highlights on the upcoming ABC special "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night To Rock." The clip was taped at Swift's mini-concert during her marathon CMA Fest "13-hour Meet & Greet" -- which lasted nearly 15 hours. Other highlights include a day in the life of Lady Antebellum, who let the cameras roll during their day at the June event; and collaborative performances from Dierks Bentley, Jamey Johnson, and Miranda Lambert and Uncle Kracker with Kid Rock, who took the stage at Nashville's Fuel Bar & Nightclub during the festival.

The three-hour TV special will also feature Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Trace Adkins, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, and a host of other stars who took the stage over the course of the four-day event for the Nightly Concerts at LP Field. McGraw is hosting the three-hour "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night To Rock," which will air on ABC September 1st.
