After winning top awards, Lauren Daigle, known for her widely appealing worship music, asked viewers to pray for her grandfather, who was in attendance.

“I’ll try not to cry but I want to honor my grandfather,” Daigle said during her acceptance speech. “He’s 86 years old and he has knees that are giving him a hard time and shoulders and a back that, it all kinda needs to be replaced.”
