Other country superstars also nominated included Kacey Musgraves (15), Shaboozey (12), Kane Brown and Morgan Wallen (11 each) and then Luke Combs (10).

The People’s Choice Country Awards 2024 were one major celebration.

There were performances by mgk, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and more.

Morgan Wallen was the big winner of the night, scooping four prizes, including The Song of 2024 for his feature on Post Malone's 'I Had Some Help'.

The 31-year-old star, who was unable to attend the bash, was also named The People's Artist and won The Concert Tour of 2024 prize for his 'One Night at a Time' jaunt, and the Social Country Star of 2024 accolade.

Luke Combs, 34, took three prizes, claiming The Album of 2024 for 'Fathers and Son', The Male Song of 2024 for 'Ain't No Love in Oklahoma', and Male Artist of 2024.

Pop punk rapper Machine Gun Kelly, 34, walked away with two prizes for The Cover Song of 2024 for his rendition of Zach Bryan's 'Sun to Me', and The Crossover Song of 2024 for 'Lonely Road' featuring Jelly Roll.

MGK used his speech to note how the country music industry has become more open to artists that are outsiders. He said: "We went from 10 years ago hating each other to elevating each other. "Comparison is the thief of joy. There is enough room on this couch for everybody. We found camaraderie in the chaos."

Elsewhere, Lainey Wilson, 32, was crowned The Female Artist of 2024, after landing the same award last year.

And newcomer Dasha, 24, accepted The Female Song of 2024 for her viral hit 'Austin (Boots Stop Workin').'

Miranda Lambert was honored with the Icon Award, while Kane Brown was bestowed with the Country Champion honour.

Miranda found it "so weird" to be named an "icon" as she accepted the Country Icon Award at the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards.

The 40-year-old singer was celebrated as a "tour de force in country music" and confessed it was "just blowing my mind" to her that she is considered an idol.

In her acceptance speech, she said: "It's so weird for me to stand up here and hold an icon award. I mean, to me, an icon is who I grew up listening to. My daddy would play Jerry Jeff Walker, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, John Prine. Those are my icons. "So the fact that I get this award tonight is just blowing my mind."

Miranda quipped: "It's a lot of years, tears, beers and Tito's."

The 'Bluebird' singer - who has released 10 studio albums over the past two decades and is one of the most decorated stars in country music - admitted that some days she feels like she is "just getting started" in her music career.

Shaboozey thanked Beyoncé as he took home the New Artist of 2024 prize.

The 29-year-old star gave a shout-out to his collaborator after the 43-year-old superstar failed to win a single prize for her country album 'Cowboy Carter'.

The 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' hitmaker began his acceptance speech: "First off, thank you to People's Choice, the fans and listeners for this award. "I'm so honoured and extremely humbled. I never would have thought in a million years that I'd be up here at the Grand Ole Opry accepting something like this, it's a dream come true."

Shaboozey - who worked with Beyoncé on the tracks 'Spaghetti' and 'Sweet Honey Buckiin' on the 2023 LP - said: “Thank you Beyoncé, you’re amazing."
