They join previously announced performers and nominees Kenny Chesney, Coldplay, Jonas Brothers, Lil Wayne and Katy Perry.

Jennifer Hudson is nominated for three awards this year — Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for “Spotlight;” Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “I’m His Only Woman” (featuring Fantasia) and Best R&B Album for “Jennifer Hudson.”

Carrie Underwood is up for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for “Last Name.”

The Feb. 8 event will be broadcast live from the Staples Center on CBS.

Hudson has not performed publicly since the October slayings of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew, allegedly at the hands of her brother-in-law.

It was previously announced that Hudson would sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl in Tampa, Fla., Feb. 1.
