Wilson, 20, shared the news with her parents over the phone and with her fans on Instagram posting she is “so honored” by the nominations.
She told her parents “I can’t believe what God has done.”
The Kentucky native is nominated for Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, New Artist of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year, and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year.
Wilson won Female Artist of the Year and Breakout Single of the Year for her debut song “My Jesus,” which rocketed to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. Her full-length album by the same title also debuted at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart.
She told CBN’s Faithwire at the time she was “so honored and so grateful” for the awards, adding, “I think it’s so surreal to be in this place and realize that fans voted for me. That’s such an honor and just makes me so humble, so grateful.”
Wilson recently appeared on CBN’s “Faith vs. Culture,” where she spoke candidly about the difficult journey she and her family have endured since her 23-year-old brother’s sudden death from a car accident in 2017.
In many ways, God used Jacob’s tragic death to reveal to Wilson the calling He had on her life.
