Here Are the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards Winners

The very first People’s Choice Country Awards went down from Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House on Thursday night (Sept. 28).

Morgan Wallen led all nominees with 11 nods, but it was Jelly Roll who emerged the night’s clear winner, taking home six prizes at the inaugural awards show, including male artist of the year and new artist of the year.

Of course, Wallen had a pretty good night too, winning the top prize of people’s artist among three total wins. That ties him with Lainey Wilson, who was on hand to accept her three awards, followed by P!nk and Chris Stapleton with two apiece.
