Calling all country music lovers: Tonight is the night!

The 2023 People's Choice Country Awards, hosted by Little Big Town, will air live from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville on Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. across NBC and Peacock.

At this award show, fans are making their voices heard across 12 categories—including People's Artist of 2023, Collaboration Song of 2023, Crossover Song of 2023 and more.

Some of the most-nominated artists include hit-making icons like Blake Shelton, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Carrie Underwood and Morgan Wallen.
