"The surprises are going to be fun, we can say that. But there will be guests that are gonna be on as we've said it, Olivia Rodrigo, Alanis Morissette, Maren Morris, Zac Brown. There'll be a lot of guests," Sykes told Forbes. "You'll just have to watch on HBO November 19. You have to see what exact songs they play.
