Justin Timberlake is ready to party with country's biggest stars!

Good Morning America revealed Monday morning that the "Mirrors" and "Suit & Tie" singer is heading to the 2015 Country Music Association Awards Wednesday night as a special guest.

In fact, the famous performer will be singing with Chris Stapleton when the show airs live on ABC.

For Brad Paisley, who is co-hosting the star-studded award show with Carrie Underwood for the eighth time, this unexpected guest may call for some new jokes.

"Is there anyone in the audience that you have your eye on, that need to be warned that they might be targeted?" E! News' Carissa Loethen asked the country singer.

"Sure! Let me think about that for a minute. I think Justin Timberlake is coming," he shared. "How can I not pick on him?"

He continued, "I have to pick on him. He's a great guy so if anybody can take it too, we always look for the people who are going to laugh."

Putting all jokes aside, Wednesday's award show promises to be a star-studded affair that will keep both country music and pop culture fans entertained from beginning to end.

Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line are just a few of the many names scheduled to perform. As for Paisley, he has a special surprise of his own.

Before his hosting gig, the 43-year-old will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live to deliver a special mashup of "I Wanna Sex You Up" with Color Me Badd. You can see the performance for yourself Monday night on ABC.
