NBC and Peacock announced the nominees for the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, to be telecast on NBC and Peacock on Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.

The nominees for the top award — the People’s Artist of 2024 — are Beyoncé, Jelly Roll, Kacey Musgraves, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan.

Fans can now vote for their favorite nominees across 18 categories, which have expanded this year to include Female Song, Male Song, Group/Duo Song, Cover Song, New Artist Song and Storyteller Song.
