The Grammy, CMA and ACM Award-winning country artist’s performance at the Grammys ceremony on Sunday night drew high praise, with some critics deeming it the top moment of the night. Wilson sang Ray Charles’ “Let the Good Times Roll,” accompanied by Jacob Collier, as part of a tribute to late music producer icon Quincy Jones.

However, Wilson, 32, missed out on the Grammy win this year, having been nominated for best country album for her acclaimed record, “Whirlwind.” The record debuted at No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The album features her current Top 5 country radio single “4x4xU.”
