Heading into the ceremony, Barrett was glowing from another top honor â being the country artist with the most BBMA nominations with nine total. The American Idol finalist sat down with ABC Audio before the show and explained what it meant to her to have âI Hopeâ still being recognized after its initial 2019 release.
