NASHVILLE, Tenn. – PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson was named Female Artist of the Year at the K-LOVE Fan Awards on Sunday, May 26 at the Grand Ole Opry. The event aired live tonight, Friday, May 31 on TBN. Wilson accepted her award followed by a live performance of her No. 1 Christian radio hit “Strong.” The coveted Female Artist of the Year award adds to her previous honors of Female Artist of the Year and Breakout Single of the Year for “My Jesus” in 2022.
“I would not be anything without Jesus. He is the prize. He is the treasure, thank you so much Jesus for everything. I am so so grateful,” shared Wilson from the Opry stage. “Thank you Jacob, my big brother in heaven, I would not be singing without you, you're an inspiration every day. Thank you to all the fans, I love you all dearly. All glory to God.”
Wilson's critically acclaimed Christian Country project, REBEL, released on April 19 and has since garnered praise from top-tier publications such as Grammy.com, Billboard, Forbes, The Tennessean, People and more. The Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith-produced record seamlessly blends Wilson's unwavering faith and Country roots, featuring hits like fan-favorite “Songs About Whiskey” and collaborations with some of Christian and Country music's biggest names – Lainey Wilson for “Praying Woman,” GRAMMY-Award winner Chris Tomlin for “The Cross” and Country superstar Jordan Davis for “Country Gold” to name a few.
The trailblazing artist will host a sold-out album release show in her hometown of Lexington, Ky. at the Lexington Opera House on June 12. Come September, her 28-stop REBEL Tour will be underway, kicking off at Mabee Center in Tulsa, Okla. on Sept. 12. Joined by special guest Jordan Rowe, the coast-to-coast tour will stop in major markets across the country including Wilson headlining Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium for the very first time on Sept. 25, 2024. Tickets are available now at www.annewilsonofficial.com.
Despite only being three years into her career, Wilson has already won a Billboard Music Award, multiple DOVE and K-LOVE Fan Awards and received nominations for prestigious honors from the GRAMMYs and American Music Awards. Recognized as Apple Music's Country Riser for April, an artist to watch by Spotify, Pandora, the Grand Ole Opry, CMT and more, and over 900M career streams, Wilson's trajectory knows no bounds.
As Wilson prepares to take the stage for The REBEL Tour, she will grace the stages of both Country and Christian music's most sought-after festivals this summer. Stay up to date with Wilson at www.annewilsonofficial.com and keep up with her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
