Brown And Lambert To Be Celebrated With Elite Honors

It was previously announced that in addition to performing, Brown will be honored with the Country Champion Award and Lambert will receive the Country Icon Award.

“Since the beginning of his career, Kane Brown has ensured that his legacy will extend beyond music,” said Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “His dedication to empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to honor him with the Country Champion Award.”
