Sunday night (Feb. 18), some of music’s biggest stars gathered in Santa Monica, California for the 2024 People’s Choice Awards. The show honored those in music, TV, film, comedy and sports with the fan-voted awards. From the Barker Hangar event center, Barbie star Simu Liu hosted the night.
Broken Bow Records/BMG artist Lainey Wilson was the first artist to perform during the night, delivering a medley of hits including “Things A Man Oughta Know,” “Heart Like A Truck,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and also included her latest release “Country’s Cool Again.”
After wrapping up the performance, Wilson accepted the award for The Female Country Artist of the Year, which was presented to her by Natasha Bedingfield, Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney.
“These last couple weeks have been crazy. I am so proud of country music right now. I am so proud to be a part of this generation of country music. I feel like everybody looks different and sounds different and has a different story and comes from different walks of life. It truly is the story telling in country music that keeps drawing people to it. Thank y’all so much for letting me tell my story and somehow finding your story within the lyrics, within the melodies, within the guitar riffs, whatever it is,” shared Wilson in her speech.
“Country music makes you feel at home and I think everybody wants to feel at home. I am so proud of it right now. Thank you to my momma, my daddy, my family, my hometown, my team, Mandelyn, I love you so much. Duck, I love you back there. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I could not do this without him guiding me every single step of the way. But also, I want to thank the fans. I am telling you right now I couldn’t do this without y’all. My wild horses, y’all keep showing up and I’ll keep showing up, too.”
The next artist to represent Nashville was Wilson’s label-mate Jelly Roll, who won the award for The Male Country Artist of the Year. The Stoney Creek/BMG artist was not in attendance, but shared a message of gratitude on his social media following the win.
“It’s absolutely incredible. Thank you to the fans that voted. Thank you for putting it all over the internet. Thank you for putting it all over your social media, TikTok. Y’all were sharing it for us. That’s what y’all have done every single time for me, my entire career. You’ve never let me down, and I pray I keep making the kind of music that never lets you down. Thank y’all.”
