Machine Gun Kelly Closes the 2024 PCCAs with 'Lonely Road' — Sans Jelly Roll

Jelly Roll wasn't able to attend this year's PCCAs due to his previously scheduled Boston tour date, but Machine Gun Kelly still played their collaboration, "Lonely Road."

MGK closed the show with the performance, playing a guitar shaped like a razor blade as he sang through the track. Once he was done, the "Papercuts" performer remained on stage, starstruck as Shania Twain said her goodbyes.

"I just love you," Twain told MGK. "One of my favorite songs ever."

"Love you back," he replied. "When I was growing up, your face was always in my dad’s car — that album cover."

Matt Rife Jokes He's Going to Flirt with Keith Urban After Learning 'Shania Twain Is Married'

Shortly before the ceremony's end, Shania Twain introduced comedian Matt Rife, who then introduced Machine Gun Kelly's performance — and Rife joked about feeling sad the "Forever and For Always" icon is already taken by her husband, Frédéric Thiébaud.

"Shania Twain is married. Nobody was gonna say anything? I flew miles," said Rife. "Now I’m gonna have to try my luck with that beautiful tattooed lesbian from earlier — Keith Urban."

Brad Paisley Premieres New Song ‘Truck Still Works’ in 2024 PCCAs Performance

Brad Paisley took the stage at the 2024 PCCAs to perform his 2003 single "Mud on the Tires" from the album of the same name — and he premiered a brand-new song, "Truck Still Works," out Sept. 27.

"Let’s see if that truck still works, let’s see if that song still sings / Let’s see if them miles of corn still got that shade of green / Let’s see if we can find that place I used to know about," sang Paisley. "Let’s see if they paved that old, dirt road that used to run out / Find out if that dogwood limb is still there to hang our shirts / If you ain’t got nothin’ else to do tonight, let’s see if that truck still works."

"That truck definitely still works," exclaimed Shania Twain after his performance.

Kane Brown Jokes About ‘Always’ Forgetting to Thank Wife Katelyn in Country Champion Award Acceptance Speech

Following Kane Brown's "Fiddle in the Band" performance earlier in the evening, he returned to the stage to accept the country champion award from Bailey Zimmerman, who handed him the trophy.

During his speech, Brown joked about "always" having trouble remembering to thank his wife, Katelyn, with whom he shares three children.

"I want to thank my wife, of course, because I feel like I always forget to do that. She holds our house down," he told the crowd, later adding: "I know my babies are at home watching, so I just want to say I love you guys, and I can't wait to be home to y'all."

Miranda Lambert Performs 'Kerosene' and 'Dammit Randy' as She Receives Country Icon Award

Miranda Lambert received the country icon award at the 2024 PCCAs and delivered a performance of her early hit "Kerosene" and recent single "Dammit Randy."

While accepting the honor, Lambert acknowledged how "weird" it feels to be considered an icon, as she'd hold artists like Jerry Jeff Walker, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark and Jon Prine in that regard. "Those are my icons," she said.

"So, the fact that I get this award tonight is just blowing my mind. It's a lot of years, tears, beers and Tito's, if I'm being honest," added Lambert with a laugh.

Machine Gun Kelly Says He and Jelly Roll 'Went from Hating Each Other to Elevating Each Other' as They Win an Award

Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll won the crossover song of 2024 award at the 2024 PCCAs for their recent collaboration, "Lonely Road," which samples Jon Denver's classic "Take Me Home, Country Roads."

Jelly didn't attend the awards show, but MGK spoke about their unique friendship journey as he accepted the honor. "Jelly, I love you. We went from 10 years ago from hating each other to elevating each other," said the musician — more than a decade after the "Save Me" singer released an MGK diss track, "Malibu's Most Wanted."

"Comparison is the thief of joy," added MGK. "There is enough room on this couch for everybody. We found camaraderie in the chaos."

Brown sported sunglasses and an all-black look adorned with fringe, telling the crowd to “make some noise” midway through his performance — and they listened!

"Well, I was supposed to get a spray tan again, but I didn't get one because my last one was doing pretty good still. I feel like they just get a bad rap for dudes," he said. "And honestly, who doesn't want to be tan? And a ginger like myself, we have a hard time tanning! So it makes me feel better, and I'm going to stick with 'We should legalize tans.'"

Kelsea Ballerini Teases a ‘Lot of Drama’ to Come from Her 2024 PCCAs Performance

Kelsea Ballerini walked the carpet in a Roberto Cavalli and teased "a lot of drama" to come from her performance of "Two Things" from her upcoming album, PATTERNS.

She detailed the upcoming 15-track project, out Oct. 25, at the 2024 PCCAs in an interview with comedian Heather McMahan on E! Live from the Red Carpet — and touched on how her boyfriend, Chase Stokes, has impacted her life.

"The whole record really does cover all of, truly, the relational patterns that I had to assess in my life. I'm 31 now, I'm in a beautiful relationship, and when you're in a good relationship, it really mirrors you, so you have to really assess yourself and then the other person, vice versa," said Ballerini. "I think there's a lot of that kind of intricacy within the record."

The musician, who's up for four awards at the ceremony, then spoke about her "Two Things" performance, telling the TV program, "It will be a lot of sunflowers, a lot of New York, a lot of drama, baby."
