The awards may not mean much, but one good thing about FOX’s American Country Awards is that it gives some of your non-usual suspects the chance to perform for a primetime national audience. The ACAs kept up that part of the bargain by announcing today that country star/Season 5 Idol finalist/Season 16 Dancing With The Stars champ Kellie Pickler will perform on the Tuesday, December 10th broadcast! The ACAs also announced that Glee’s Matthew Morrison join the already-announced Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina as a presenter at the show. Check out the press release:
