Congrats Ashley!

I don’t even know if this has fully sunk in yet… 🥹🏆
Today, at the 2026 Branson Show Awards, I was incredibly honored to be named:
✨ FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR
✨ FEMALE ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR
To receive one of these awards would have meant more than I can say. To hear my name called for both… I’m still trying to find the words.
I’ve spent most of my life on a stage. There have been incredible highs, hard seasons, closed doors, unexpected opportunities, moments I questioned the path, and so many times when God reminded me exactly why I was given this voice in the first place.
This year especially has felt like a season of stepping into something new. I’ve tried to show up every night, give everything I have, and make sure that when someone spends their time and money to come see me perform, they leave feeling like they experienced something real.
So these two awards mean a whole lot to me.
To everyone who has bought a ticket, sat in an audience, shared a video, brought a friend, encouraged me after a show, followed this crazy journey, or simply told me, “Keep going” — thank you. You may never know how many times those words came at exactly the right moment.
To the musicians, entertainers, theaters, friends and people in the Branson entertainment community who have believed in me and given me a place to do what I love — thank you.
And most of all, thank You, God, for continuing to open doors I couldn’t have opened myself.
