2024 People’s Choice Country Awards: All The Performances, Ranked


Billboard ranks the performances at this year's People's Choice Country Awards.

MGK (Machine Gun Kelly) has made inroads into country recently, but stepped out in a big way Thursday night when he closed out the show with a performance of “Lonely Road,” sans his collaboration partner Jelly Roll. Clad in jeans, a suit jacket and a cowboy hat, Texas native McCollum offered up his new song “What Kinda Man.” Staying close to the centerstage microphone and wielding his guitar, he let loose with his signature drawl, bringing plenty of honkytonk twang to his performance. Married duo The War and Treaty have graced the stages of numerous awards ceremonies and other high-profile events, regularly earning standing ovations and becoming known as reliably stunning performers, melding elements of country, folk, soul and gospel.
