Having been inexplicably shut out of the CMA Awards this month without explanation, it's telling that Beyoncé has garnered 17 nominations at the People's Choice Country Awards 2024, which is entirely fan-voted. The sense is that the starting pistol has gone off on an uncomfortable and long overdue conversation that's set to dominate awards season.
Beyoncé's potential haul is eclipsed only by that of Zach Bryan, who's been recognized in 19 categories, including Album of 2024. Morgan Wallen, who has received the most nominations at the CMAs, is up for eight People's Choice Country Awards. The trio, along with Jelly Roll, Kacey Musgraves, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson and Luke Combs, are all in the frame for the headline People’s Artist of 2024 award.
Taking place at Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, read our guide below for how to watch People's Choice Country Awards 2024 online and from anywhere in the world.
How to watch People's Choice Country Awards 2024 from anywhere
Just because NBC and Peacock aren't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch the People's Choice Country Awards if you're away from home. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is NordVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 5,000 servers, across 60 countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K., and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Fire up your website or streaming service of choice and tune in.
