People’s Choice Country Awards Winners 2023: Jelly Roll and Morgan Wallen win big (Full List)

On Thursday night (Sept. 28), the first People's Choice Country Awards were held at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House. With 11 nominations, Morgan Wallen topped all candidates, but it was Jelly Roll who emerged as the night's apparent winner, taking home six medals at the first awards presentation, including male artist of the year and New Artist of the year. Of course, Wallen also had a successful night, taking home the top prize of people's artist among three overall winners. That matches him with Lainey Wilson, who was on present to take her three trophies, and P!nk and Chris Stapleton, who each received two.
