Originally announced in 2020, the new class of honorees were finally honored in person nearly three years later. The event, originally scheduled to take place in March of 2020, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Warner Music Nashville Co-President Cris Lacy served as the featured speaker for the event. Alongside Co-President Ben Kline, Lacy guides the highly successful country division of Warner Music Group that includes chart-topping artists such as Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Dan + Shay, Brett Eldredge, Cole Swindell, Zac Brown Band, Ashley McBryde, and an array of skyrocketing artists who represent the genre’s next generation such as Ingrid Andress, Cody Johnson, Gabby Barrett, Bailey Zimmerman, and Ian Munsick.
