Miranda Lambert has reached icon status!
The country music superstar will receive the Country Icon Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, NBC and Peacock announced on August 22.
Miranda will be recognized for her decades-long music career, as well as her work as a shelter animal advocate, restaurateur and New York Times best-selling author.
“A tour de force in country music for more than 20 years, Miranda Lambert’s groundbreaking albums continue to capture the hearts of fans around the world,” Jen Neal—Executive Vice President of Live Events and Specials at NBCUniversal Entertainment—said in a statement. “We’re so excited to celebrate her career, fierce individualism and innovation in the industry with the Country Icon Award.”
Miranda is the second performer to receive this award following last year’s inaugural PCCAs, where late country music legend Toby Keith was honored.
As for this year’s ceremony, airing Sept. 26, Shania Twain will serve as host—a duty she previously said she is “honored” to take on.
