People’s Choice Country Awards Handed Out In Nashville
September 29, 2023 5:55 amThe inaugural “People’s Choice Country Awards” went down last night in Nashville.
Morgan Wallen won the night’s biggest award, People’s Artist of 2023, but he wasn’t there to accept it.
Neither was Jelly Roll. He was performing in Cincinnati and said his thank you via satellite after winning Male Artist.
Also not there? Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, and Keith Urban to name a few.
Lainey Wilson took home three awards, including Female Artist of 2023.
Blake Shelton won Social Country Star of 2023, while Wynonna was given the County Champion Award, and she treated the crowd to a medley of hits.
The night’s best moment was Toby Keith’s triumphant return after beating stomach cancer.
Blake presented him with the Country Music Icon Award, and a very thin Toby joked, “I bet you never thought you’d see me in skinny jeans.”
