(CBN) – Grammy-winning singer Lauren Daigle won the Artist of the Year award, rising above the competition at the 50th annual Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards Tuesday night. She led the field with six Dove nominations, winning three for Pop/Contemporary Album, Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for her multi-platinum and Grammy-winning crossover single “You Say.”
The 28-year-old singer was the favorite entering the awards show, which held in Nashville, TN. It marked her second Artist of the Year Dove win in three years. Daigle’s latest album, Look Up Child was released a year ago and has enjoyed widespread commercial success. Through her soaring and soulful vocals and boasting songs of hope and love,
the singer has managed to stretch beyond the exclusively-Christian music industry and gain thousands of secular fans around the world. Daigle’s music has appealed to a growing audience in just the last year. “Just to see the support of so many people, it’s really, really moving. It’s overwhelming,” Daigle said after winning song of the year. READ MORE
Too bad she got the Christian Dove Award. She didn’t stand up for God regarding LGBT lifestyles. God stance is its an abomination.
