Hold on tight, the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards are streaming into the stables as we type. The two-hour live event will be hosted by five-time Grammy Award-winning country music legend Shania Twain.

The second annual 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards begins Thursday, September 26 at 8:00 p.m. EST on NBC and will also stream on Peacock.

In an interview with Billboard, Twain described the opportunity as a full-circle moment.

“It takes me back to my own beginnings in Nashville and as a new recording artist there, and of course the historic location is always appealing,” Twain said of the awards ceremony, which is scheduled to take place at the Grand Ole Opry. “I meet new artists, meet old friends and meet new ones… I’m here more than a fan and nothing else. It’s the artists that people want to hear and see, so for me that’s everything. I’m going to be in the middle of it, so I’m super excited. I am fully available.”

Joining Twain on stage as host will be several big names in country music, including Ashley Cooke, Bailey Zimmerman, Chase Rice and Cody Rhodes. Miranda Lambert will also be honored with the 2024 Country Icon Award.

Ahead of the main event, E! will host a two-hour red carpet pre-show, “Live From E!: People’s Choice Country Awards,” beginning at 6:00 p.m. EST.
