The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation has announced that the 51st annual Gracie Awards Gala will feature a special performance by four-time Grammy-nominated artist Mickey Guyton.
With her debut album Remember Her Name, Guyton became the first Black female artist nominated for Best Country Album, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance, and the first Black woman to perform on the Grammys stage.
Named TIME's Breakthrough Artist of the Year and CMT's Breakout Artist of the Year, Guyton has taken the global stage - from national broadcasts and major sporting events to international audiences - continuing to expand the boundaries of country music.
Acclaimed actress and global icon Andie MacDowell will receive the Gracies Icon Award at the event, to be held on May 19 at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, in Beverly Hills.
Two-time Emmy-nominated actress, writer, and producer Yvette Nicole Brown will host the Gracie Awards Gala.
The Gracies Icon Award honors a woman whose impact extends far beyond entertainment, one who has reshaped how women are seen, what they can be, and what audiences expect.
It is not awarded for a single role or moment, but for a body of work defined by authenticity, resilience, and an unwavering sense of self in an industry that rarely makes space easy.
