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.
