Tell her [to] keep chasing that dream, keep singing from the soul young lady!" wrote Jelly Roll, who took home the CMA Award for New Artist of the Year in November and was recently nominated for two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and Best Country Duo/Pop Performance for his and Wilson's song "Save Me."
"You killed that Rilee! Keep it up," wrote Luke Combs, while Morgan Wallen added, "She got somethin special! Keep goin."
