The People’s Choice Country Awards is returning for its second year in 2024 with a country veteran at the helm — Shania Twain. Country music’s newest award show also announced it will be airing live on NBC on Thursday, Sept. 26 with streaming available on Peacock.
“Consider this your prerogative to have a little fun!” the show wrote on social media alluding to Twain’s hit “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”
Fans were quick to flood the comments with support for Twain’s new gig.
“So excited!” The Grand Ole Opry responded.
“Omg!! I’m so ready to see my Queen hosting people’s choice awards,” one fan wrote.
“OH MY GOSH! IM SEEING SOOOO MANY OUTFITS,” another exclaimed.
One fan wrote, “You will be the BEST HOSTESS!! The hostess with the MOSTEST!!!”
Twain herself even commented on the post as she called out actor Ryan Reynolds saying, “somebody give @vacinityreynolds a heads up!”
She was referencing her 2022 People’s Choice Awards performance when she replaced Brad Pitt‘s name with Ryan Reynolds‘ in her song “That Don’t Impress Me Much.”

What Are the People’s Choice Country Awards?
The People’s Choice Country Awards first launched in 2023 as a country-specific extension of the long-running People’s Choice Awards. The inaugural event was hosted by Little Big Town. Similar to its parent awards show, the PCCAs are decided on by the fans through online voting.
Last year, Morgan Wallen lead the way in nominations with 11 and took home the most prestigious award of the night, The People’s Artist of 2023. Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson were also big winners and Wynonna Judd was given the first-ever Country Champion Award.
The highlight of the night however, was Toby Keith‘s performance of “Don’t Let the Old Man In.” The moment ended up being his final television performance before he died on Feb. 5, 2024.
