Wynonna Judd received the Country Champion Award at last year’s inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards.

“Since the beginning of his career, Kane Brown has ensured that his legacy will extend beyond music,” Jen Neal, executive vice president, live events and specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment, said in a statement. “His dedication to empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to honor him with the Country Champion Award.”

Brown, 30, has amassed 11 No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and three on Hot Country Songs. He has had two No. 1 albums on Top Country Albums and one on the Billboard 200.

Brown’s awards shelf is a little bare for someone with so much success. He has won two ACM Awards (video of the year for “Worldwide Beautiful” and an ACM International Award), but he has yet to win a CMA Award (despite four nods) and has yet to even be nominated for a Grammy.

As previously announced, Miranda Lambert is this year’s other honorary award recipient. She will receive the Country Icon Award, which went to an ailing Toby Keith last year.

Winners are chosen entirely by fans at the People’s Choice Country Awards. Voting is now closed. Performers and presenters for this year’s show will be revealed in the coming weeks. A limited number of show tickets and VIP packages are available now at Opry.com.

The 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards is produced by Den of Thieves. Jesse Ignjatovic, Evan Prager and Barb Bialkowski will executive produce along with RAC Clark as executive producer and showrunner. 

The “Live From E!: People’s Choice Country Awards” red carpet event will kick off the night at 6 p.m. ET/PT on E!. That pre-show is produced by Den of Thieves with executive producers Ignjatovic, Prager and Bialkowski.
