NASHVILLE, Tenn. — This year’s GMA Dove Awards highlighted the power of collaboration and unity, as Brandon Lake swept the night’s biggest honors and brought down the house alongside Jelly Roll with one of the ceremony’s most memorable performances.
Held Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena for the first time in the show's history, the 56th annual Dove Awards celebrated faith-driven artistry across genres, from worship and hip-hop to Latin and country, with messages of humility, hope and shared purpose emphasized throughout the night.
Lake took home the most awards of the night with five, including Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year for “Hard Fought Hallelujah," a collaboration with Jelly Roll.
Accepting the award, Lake gestured toward the crowd. “I was telling my great friend Dr. John Maxwell about this collaboration,” he said. “He told me, ‘Stay in the church, but never stop moving toward the lost.’ That’s what this is about.”
“Millions of lives have been saved,” he added, addressing Jelly Roll. “I get all the testimonies. I want to thank you so much for sticking your neck out for me and treating me like a little brother.”
