The seating arrangement reveals Lady Antebellum located right beside power couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Bentley told Us he is unaware of the arrangements until his "first soundcheck." The handsome country crooner added that "it would be great" to sit next to Snooki, though the Jersey Shore alum is not scheduled to attend.
Other music stars present at the show will include Luke Bryan, Eric Church, "golden couple" Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, Lionel Richie, and Hunter Hayes.
