Zach Bryan leads the pack at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards with 21 nominations, followed by Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen, signaling a country music takeover.

“I just feel like this is exactly what we need because at the end of the day, music is music and it can transcend neighborhood, religion, gender, so many things,” said comedian and Billboard Music Awards host Michelle Buteau , told Fox News Digital.

Bryan and Wallen are both nominated in the Top Artist, Top Streaming Songs Artist and Top Billboard 100 and 200 categories, as well as Top Country Artist and Male Country Artist, among others.

ZACH BRYAN DON’T LIKE HIS LABEL “COUNTRY MUSICIAN.”

Buteau continued: “I think it’s time. And music is also one of those things… that brings people together, similar to comedy. I love it when a song comes along that people think I shouldn’t know. The words to it, but I sing it together. And to be honest, for me it always comes down to art and culture.

Buteau, a longtime comedian who has hosted shows like “The Circle” on Netflix and appeared in films like “Marry Me” and “Babes,” said she was thrilled to be asked to host the show.

“It’s wild when you see something all the time. And then actually being there and having a good time and being like, I want to do that all the time. It’s amazing. I’m like, ‘How am I going to do this?’ ‘I’m going to put on my Ryan Seacrest in a plus-size dress?’ she said.

Although Swift isn’t at the top of the nominations at this year’s ceremony, she is the most decorated female BBMA artist of all time, another honor alongside her incredible two-year stint on The Eras Tour.

“Music is ultimately music and it can transcend neighborhood, religion, gender and so many things.”

“Honestly, can we just take a moment and applaud Taylor? All her hard work and her good knees. I mean, it’s not easy,” Buteau joked. “I walk my dogs and have to bend down to understand their situations. And I think, wow, you can really stretch more often. Taylor is out here doing it for anyone and everyone around the world.”

“She fills the room with love. So it’s not about the nominations, it’s about the feeling,” she added.

As a host, Buteau said it’s easy to remain neutral when it comes to who she’s rooting for, ultimately feeling like “the audience will tell you who they’re rooting for.”

“At the end of the day, they’re just great artists that we let off steam in front of, you know what I mean? So you can’t lose either way. Plus, we never lose. We’re just learning,” she added.

The BBMAs will feature many of the nominees, including country stars Shaboozey, Jelly Roll and Megan Moroney, as well as Coldplay, Linkin Park, Tyla, Teddy Swims and K-pop stars SEVENTEEN and Stray Kids.

Buteau, mother of five-year-old twins and husband Gijs van der Most, is ready to enjoy the show even while she’s working.

“My husband will ‘babysit’ so I can go to work and see all these amazing artists that I only really listen to in my minivan when I pick up the kids. So, I mean, even the fact that someone brings me water and some wine, are you kidding?

However, like many people, she experienced it through social media, “because I can live vicariously through everyone’s Insta stories.”

“I love it when people post about these little sweet moments where Taylor brings her boyfriend on stage and so on in London. All of these things also make me feel like I’m a part of it. And that’s how I really like it: I love a very long tour because I just feel like I know a lot about it,” Buteau said.

She added: “I have all the bracelets, I do everything. My daughter and I still sing “Cruel Summer” on the way to school.”
