The 26-year-old country music star is taking her act to primetime for the CBS drama, in which she makes her acting debut playing herself in the Valentine's Day episode.
The story will follow the team as they search for a missing terrorist playbook. Morris makes a cameo by belting out her breakout single, "My Church," in a bar.
Morris scored four GRAMMY nominations for "My Church," which is the most nominations for a country artist at Sunday’s awards show.
"I was basically woken up to my phone vibrating like crazy," Morris said, remembering the morning GRAMMY nominations were announced. "I thought it was a weather alert or something. It was my friends and family texting me. It was insane and so cool. It was probably the best wake-up call I've ever gotten."
