Reba Among Early Winners at 60th GRAMMY Awards

The Recording Academy will award the winners of the 60th GRAMMY Awards Sunday night (1/28), but ahead of the night’s big show, several winners have already been revealed. The Academy held its pre-telecast awards ceremony this afternoon to hand out 70 trophies prior to the prime-time telecast on CBS.

During the pre-telecast ceremony, Reba was awarded with the Best Roots Gospel Album for her project Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope. “Thank you very much to the Academy, to all of my friends at Big Machine Music, my label, and to Capitol Christian,” she began. “Our job in the entertainment business is to heal hearts. That’s what God put me on this earth for, I know it is, with the music, and to help other people. Music is so healing. I love my job. I’m so grateful to get to do it.”
