Moroney, who performed her hit “Am I Okay?” during the show, got emotional while receiving her award.

“I just want to get through this without crying,” she said in her acceptance speech. “Thank you, Jesus, for putting this dream on my heart and thank you for the gift of songwriting.

“This is for my fans. I would say they’re a large reason why I’m up here right now,” she continued. “The way they show up for me, the way they care about my songs, and they make signs and T-shirts, and they wait outside the venue starting at 3 a.m. It’s really insane to me.”
