Miranda Lambert is set to be honoured with the Country Icon Award at the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards.

It was announced on Thursday that the country music star will receive the prestigious accolade at this year's People's Choice Country Awards, scheduled to take place on 26th September in Nashville, Tennessee.

According to People, a press release stated that Miranda will be recognised with the award for creating "an authentic, female-forward brand of country that has shaped the industry."

The hitmaker is also nominated for Best Female Artist of 2024 and Best Female Song of 2024 for her latest track, Wranglers.

The announcement comes nearly 20 years after the Little Red Wagon singer released her debut studio album, Kerosene, in 2005.

At the end of July, Miranda revealed that her tenth studio album, titled Postcards from Texas, will be released on 13th September.

In a recent interview with People, Miranda described the album as "very country," adding, "I made this record in Texas. I hadn't recorded an album in Texas since I was 18."

Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment, said in a statement, "A tour de force in country music for over 20 years, Miranda Lambert's groundbreaking albums continue to capture the hearts of fans around the world."

She continued, "We're thrilled to celebrate her career, fierce individualism, and innovation in the industry with the Country Icon Award."

The 2024 People's Choice Country Awards will be broadcast live from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
