CMT has announced the lineup for their upcoming event “CMT Smashing Glass: A Celebration of the Groundbreaking Women of Music.” The program looks to recognize the women who paved the way for today’s artists, as well as the women today who travel the path those icons cleared for them.

Patti LaBelle and Tanya Tucker will be honored with one-of-a-kind performances and presentations from Billie Jean King, Chris Janson, Clint Black, Fancy Hagood, Ledisi and The War & Treaty. LaBelle and Tucker will also take part in a special roundtable conversation with Sheryl Crow before each taking the stage for their own performances. Amber Riley, Lucie Silvas and Mickey Guyton will honor the late women of music with “Moments of Respect” and tribute medleys to Aretha Franklin, Sinead O’Connor and Tina Turner.

The star-studded event premieres Wednesday at 9 pm ET/PT on CMT.
