Surprise, y'all! Beyoncé will be performing tonight at the 2016 CMA Awards, E! News can confirm. 

Although her country song "Daddy Lessons" is not up for an award, the Lemonade creator will be taking center stage in Nashville at the 50th Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.

(CMT was first to report Queen Bey would be performing at the CMA Awards.)

Although we don't know yet what song Bey will be perming, Fuse TV is speculating whether it could be a collaboration with one of the many country acts scheduled to appear.

The Dixie Chicks have covered Beyoncé's "Daddy Lessons" in the past, leading fans to wonder all the trio could be joining forces with their fellow Texas native on that song tonight.

The 2016 CMA Awards air live tonight at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
