Wilson delivered one of the most simple yet touching acceptance speeches ever after Gayle King announced her win. She gushed over the other female artists in the category, saying
"All of them are dear friends, and they work their tail off, and they just dedicate their life to create music, and create this vision and bring it to life ... I'm so honored to be part of this category. It's really unreal, watching these girls do what they do." She also thanked the audience who voted for the fan-voted awards for their support of country music's female artists, saying, "It's a big dang deal."

Her nominations included Video of the Year and Collaborative Video of the Year for her work with Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real on More Than Friends.
