Kylie Minogue And Lainey Wilson Set To Shine With Performance At People’s Choice Awards Later This Month
Excitement is building as the People’s Choice Awards gears up for a star-studded evening featuring performances by music icons Kylie Minogue and Lainey Wilson. Following their recent triumphs at the Grammys, both artists are poised to captivate audiences with their electrifying stage presence.
At 55 years old, Kylie continues to defy expectations, securing her second Grammy win for the infectious summer anthem Padam Padam. With over 80 million records sold and a career spanning nearly five decades, Kylie remains a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Her resilience and enduring appeal were highlighted as she thanked her dedicated fanbase, particularly her LGBTQ+ supporters, for their unwavering loyalty while speaking with E!’s Live from the Red Carpet host Laverne Cox at the Grammys.
“I would say thank you for being with me for such a long time now, through thick and thin. We ride the highs, the lows and the in-betweens, and to know that we’ve got each other’s backs and this feels like the start of the next era,” she stated.
Meanwhile, Lainey’s meteoric rise in country music has been nothing short of remarkable. With her album Bell Bottom Country earning critical acclaim and accolades like Best Country Album at the Grammys and Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards, Lainey’s star continues to ascend. Her infectious energy and authentic storytelling have resonated with audiences worldwide, earning her nominations for Female Artist of the Year and Female Country Artist of the Year at the People’s Choice Awards.
Reflecting on her journey, Lainey expressed her excitement about reaching this milestone moment.
Speaking to PEOPLE on the Grammys red carpet, she said, “I’ve been like preparing for the race and I finally entered it and now I’m running it,” she remarked, highlighting her sense of fulfillment and purpose in her musical career.
In addition to these stellar performances, the ceremony will honor music legend Lenny Kravitz with the Music Icon Award, recognizing his contributions to the industry. Actor and comedian Adam Sandler will also be celebrated with the People’s Icon Award, joining the ranks of esteemed honorees like Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez.
The show, which would be hosted by actor Simu Liu, is scheduled to be held on Feb. 18 at Barker Hanger in California’s Santa Monica.
