2012 Grammy Awards' Country Performances: Carrie Underwood to Duet With Tony Bennett + More

Over the weekend, Carrie Underwood teamed with Aerosmith frontman and 'American Idol' host Steven Tyler for an episode of 'CMT Crossroads.' On this Sunday's Grammy telecast, the country star will pull a musical 180 and duet with an altogether different sort of music legend: Tony Bennett.

Carrie and Tony first teamed up last year, when they cut a version of 'It Had to Be You' for the crooner's 'Duets II' album.

"I would have sang anything with Tony! Whatever he wanted, I was there," Carrie tells PBS, explaining how psyched she was to partner with the 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco' singer. "He wants to do duets with people as themselves and have them bring their thing and him bring his thing, and I respect that so much, his way of recording."

Carrie is the latest in a string of country artists who have signed on for the 54th Grammy Awards, which will broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Others include Jason Aldean, who's set to sing with his 'Don't You Wanna Stay' duet partner Kelly Clarkson; the iconic Glenn Campbell, who will join forces with the Band Perry and Blake Shelton; and of course, America's sweetheart, Taylor Swift.

Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert will also be on hand, though they'll be presenting gramophone statuettes rather than strumming their guitars.

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards air live from the Staples Center at 8PM EST on Feb. 12, 2012.

I was hoping Martina was going to sing. I heard they were going to do a tribute to Etta James and I heard Martina sing At Last beautifully. Maybe Sugarland can sing with Lady Gaga again b/c they were awesome last time.

Carrie is one of a few artists that can sing any genre and do it well. She is the TOTAL PACKAGE but still remains well grounded and has kept her faith and morals intact. She is the ALL AMERICAN GIRL NEXT DOOR without a doubt.

Can't wait to see Blake sing with Glen Campbell, also I hope he wins the Grammys he's nominated for.
