PLAN B: Chats With Grammy Winning Tori Kelly About Her New Album

Tori Kelly Tori Kelly first came to our attention after posting videos on YouTube as a teenager. She then went on to be a semi finalist on American Idol in 2010. Since then she has won two Grammys and on August 9 will release her most vulnerable album to date, Inspired By True Events.   View this post on Instagram   what a wild day. i still don’t know how i was somehow able to soak the tears back into my eyes as i was walking up to accept each of these. dreamed about this since i was a kid. never thought i would get 2 in 1 night. i don’t think i fully even know what happened i just know that i’m so incredibly grateful & will never forget this feeling. all glory to God.
