The award is presented to “an iconic artist” who has “positively impacted and contributed to the growth of the genre over the course of many years,” with past recipients including Johnny Cash (2015), Alan Jackson (2022), Kris Kristofferson (2019), Loretta Lynn (2021), Charley Pride (2020) and George Strait (2024).
Brandi Carlile and Patty Loveless then paid tribute to Vince by singing “When I Call Your Name.”
