Red Carpet at the 56th Dove Awards

There’s nothing quite like Dove Awards night in Nashville. From the moment the lights hit the Bridgestone Arena, you could feel it—joy, community, and celebration filling the air. The 56th Annual Dove Awards brought together the biggest names in Christian music and entertainment for a night that truly pointed every spotlight back to Jesus.

CCM Magazine was live on the red carpet catching up with artists, creators, and faith-filled storytellers whose music continues to move hearts around the world. Lecrae, Tauren Wells, Lauren Daigle, Colton Dixon, Natalie Grant, Patricia Heaton, Megan Woods, Hope Darst, Elevation Worship, Elevation Rhythm, and so many others stopped by to share their excitement, their gratitude, and their stories of faith.

Hosted in the heart of Music City, the Dove Awards felt like more than just a show—it was a reunion of believers celebrating how God continues to use music to bring light into the world. From powerful worship anthems to pop hooks and heartfelt testimonies, every moment echoed the same truth: it’s all about Him.
