Mickey Guyton to Perform at 2026 Gracies Awards Gala

Country music trailblazer Mickey Guyton is set to perform at the 51st annual Gracies Awards Gala on Tuesday, May 19, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. The event, which celebrates outstanding achievements by women in media, promises to be a highlight of the spring awards season.

Actress Andie MacDowell will receive the Gracies Icon Award during the ceremony. The evening will be hosted by actress, writer, and producer Yvette Nicole Brown, known for her memorable work on Community. The awards are presented annually by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF).

Guyton, 42, has established herself as a significant voice in country music, earning four Grammy nominations throughout her career. Her acclaimed tracks “Black Like Me” and “Remember Her Name” earned back-to-back nominations for best country solo performance in 2021 and 2022. Her influence extends beyond her recordings; in 2021, she co-hosted the ACM Awards alongside Keith Urban, further cementing her status as a versatile performer and industry leader.

Regarding the honorees, AWMF president Becky Brooks noted in a statement, “Andie MacDowell belongs in the company of the legends who have carried this award before her. She has shown us what it looks like to lead with integrity, to grow with intention, and to stay fully, unapologetically herself, and she has done it in a way that has opened doors for women across the industry.”
