Anne Wilson made her K-LOVE Fan Awards debut in 2022 and walked away a winner. Named Female Artist of the Year, Wilson led fan votes in a category that also included powerhouse vocalists Blanca, CeCe Winans, Katy Nichole, Riley Clemmons and Tasha Layton.
Podcast of the Year winner Sadie Robertson Huff presented a surprised Wilson with the honor. “This is so surreal for me. I remember just growing up listening to K-LOVE all the time and having this love for Jesus from a young age. Never in a million years did I imagine that I would be standing here today and accepting this award,” Wilson said, as her parents and sister looked on from the audience at the Grand Ole Opry House. “What a gift it is to be an artist and to be able to share the love of Jesus.”
During the awards show, the newcomer performed a powerful rendition of her No. 1 smash, “My Jesus,” which fans voted Breakout Single of the Year. The chart-topping hit is the title track from Wilson’s debut album, which also includes the fiery “Sunday Sermons” and “Mamas,” her emotional duet with Hillary Scott.
“I am a huge fan of all these artists that I’m sitting next to now,” Wilson told K-LOVE DJ Lauree backstage. “Just to see how the fans have been so supportive of my music over the past year, it means so much.”
Alongside sibling trio CAIN, the newly-minted K-LOVE Fan Award winner will provide support for Casting Crowns on “The Healer Tour” this fall.
