All of the pop stars are getting their country music fix — including Pharrell.

The producer-rapper-singer is set to perform alongside Little Big Town at Wednesday's CMT Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. Pharrell produced the Grammy-winning country group's new album, "Wanderlust," to be released Friday.

Pharrell follows Beyonce, who has a country song on her new album, and Justin Timberlake, who had a country hit last year with the track "Drink You Away."

Other performers at the Bridgestone Arena include country music's top players, including Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton and Blake Shelton.

Aside from Pharrell, more performers outside of the country genre will hit the stage for collaborations, including Cheap Trick, Pitbull, Fifth Harmony, Elle King and Leona Lewis.

The show airs live on CMT at 8 p.m.
