Wilson's win on Wednesday, November 19, marks her fourth straight victory in the category, making her only the third woman to win four consecutive times after Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert. "It's a good night. Thank you, Jesus, thank you so much," Wilson, 33, began in her acceptance speech. "I am so proud to be in this category with these women. Miranda, you have poured into me. You have sat around a fire with me. Told me what to do, what not to do. It is because of women like you.
