Kylie Minogue, the Australian icon, will receive the coveted Icon Award, while Maren Morris will be celebrated with the Visionary Award for her unwavering commitment to social justice. Rising stars like Ice Spice, Charli XCX, and Young Miko will also be recognized for their groundbreaking contributions.
