Hunter Hayes has a big night ahead of him next week, as he will perform at the Grammy Nominations Live concert. Fellow country artists Dierks Bentley and The Band Perry have also been added to the lineup, as they will pay tribute to the late Johnny Cash. Even though Hunter recently scored his first #1 hit with “Wanted,” he admits that it is still a little intense performing among your peers.  “It is very nerve-wracking. You want them to like you, you know? I want them to like, I don’t want them to hate me. I want them to know that I love it, and that I—I’m grateful to be in the building with them basically. Yeah—it’s a balance of trying to be comfortable and trying to keep the nerves cause that’s what keeps it real.” Luke Bryan will also perform at the Grammy Nominations Live concert, while Taylor Swift and LL Cool J are set to host the show. The special will air Wednesday (12/5) at 10PM Eastern on CBS.
