"I was doing a photo shoot with my old trusty guitar and a horse that Coors Light hooked me up with. We had some really cool frosted makeup effects and we got to do a lot of fake snow in my hair and eyelashes and stuff," Wilson told Billboard. "I got to do something that I've never done and got to be creative in different kind of ways, which is always fun for me."

Wilson noted the following to The Tennessean about her recent Grammy win and rising media profile.

"I don't know if I'll ever completely wrap my head around this one tonight. It feels like blood, sweat and tears have led to this moment right here. I'm so proud to be here and be in the same building with so many people I look up to. I'm on cloud nine, but I feel like this is also just the beginning; and that's a very exciting feeling."
