Maren Morris is striking while the iron is hot.

The CMA New Artist of the Year will appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on Dec. 10, while WWE star John Cena will be handling the hosting duties. In the past two years, a handful of country stars have performed on SNL, including Blake Shelton (January 2015), Zac Brown Band (March 2015), Chris Stapleton (January 2016) and Margo Price (April 2016).
