Hailee Steinfeld to lead Britney Spears tribute medley

Written by . Published: April 27 2017

Young stars Hailee Steinfeld, Kelsea Ballerini, and Sofia Carson are set to deliver a pop medley of Britney Spears songs to honor the Icon Award honoree at the Radio Disney Music Awards.


The Toxic hitmaker was recently unveiled as the first-ever recipient of the new trophy, which recognizes "a distinguished artist whose career transcends popular culture", and now show producers have recruited singer/actress Hailee, country star Kelsea, and Disney regular Sofia to pay tribute with a special performance at this weekend's (29Apr17) event.

Kelsea and Sofia will be pulling double duty at the Los Angeles prizegiving, as they will also co-host the bash.

Justin Bieber leads all nominees at the annual awards show with six nods, just one ahead of his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez and Meghan Trainor. He'll be up for accolades including Best Male Artist, Fiercest Fans, and Favorite Tour.

Other multiple nominees include DNCE and Kelsea, who have both snagged four nods apiece.
