With magic in the air, fans tearing and a room just engulfed with love for the wonderful Mrs. Price, she became emotional, breaking down in front of the people who love and appreciate her.
“I’m so messed up right now,” says an emotional Price. “I really really thank God for you. So many singers right now want an opportunity and can’t find one. It’s the most amazing thing in the world to me and it really hit me like a ton of bricks…It’s been eight years since I’ve released a mainstream album…I’m grateful that there were people waiting for me; you were waiting for me and I appreciate it so much. So from the bottom of my heart, I just want to say thank you so much.”
