NASHVILLE, Tenn. – PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson is extending her nationwide The STARS Tour into 2026, announcing 21 additional dates across the U.S. and Canada. The new leg will bring Wilson's captivating live show to major cities including Atlanta, Charlotte, Boston, Baltimore and more. Presale for the new dates begins today, Nov. 17 at 12 p.m. local time, with general on sale beginning Friday, Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. local time.
 
The STARS Tour is continuing this spring! My heart is overflowing thinking about all the moments we've shared so far — the worship, the stories and everything God has already done on this journey,” shares Wilson. “And the best part?! We're just getting started! I've loved getting to share these new songs with y'all, and I can't wait to bring them to even more cities. Bring your family and friends and let's gather together to remember that the same God who made the stars made YOU and knows you by name.”
 
The STARS Tour comes on the heels of Wilson's third studio album, Stars, released Oct. 17 via Capitol Christian Music Group. The sweeping 12-track collection captures faith, grief and wonder in equal measure and has already made an impressive impact across multiple Billboard charts, debuting at No. 4 on Top Christian Albums, No. 12 on Top Current Album Sales, No. 14 on Top Album Sales and No. 39 on Top Country Albums, underscoring Wilson's rare crossover appeal and growing influence in both the Christian and country genres.

Critics have praised Stars as “a deeply personal project that blends her country roots with messages of faith, surrender and wonder” (Crosswalk). Billboard hailed the album as one that “deeply intertwines her country music roots with her faith-based message,” spotlighting “Hold Your Horses” as one of Wilson's “twangiest songs yet.” Holler called Stars “a beautifully cohesive body of work” and “a spiritual supernova pushing country music in bold new directions,” while Music Mayhem described it as “grief, growth, and the relentless pursuit of honesty.”

Across its 12 tracks – all co-written by Wilson – Stars finds the Kentucky native stepping fully into her own as a storyteller, blending the grit of country with the hope of faith in a way that is entirely her own. Produced by Jeff Pardo, Jonathan Smith and Ross Copperman, the coming-of-age collection brings together acclaimed writers like Trannie Anderson, Blake Pendergrass, Emily Weisband and Andy Albert.
 
Highlights from the album include her soaring single, “God Story,” currently in the Top 10 at Christian radio and climbing; “The Carpenter,” a porch-front hymn to legacy and redemption; “Jesus on the Radio,” a back-roads anthem where faith meets everyday life; and“Hold Your Horses,” a lighthearted nod to patience and guarding your heart. Elsewhere, the stirring “Dead in the Water” tells a powerful story of redemption for anyone who's ever thought they were too far gone, while the title track “Stars” – inspired by Wilson's childhood dream of becoming an astronaut — sets the tone as a metaphor for wonder, curiosity and divine redirection. “Carry Me” anchors the record with unguarded emotion, and “Twenty Three” captures the moment Wilson realized she would live longer than her late brother Jacob — a poignant marker in her journey through loss.
 
Wilson also expands her message beyond the stage through her new 40-day devotional, Hey Girl: You Are Seen, Loved, and Made for More via K-LOVE Books, written to help young women discover their true worth and unshakeable identity in Christ.
 
Wilson's next chapter promises to shine even brighter. Stay up to date at annewilsonofficial.com and keep up with her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

ABOUT ANNE WILSON:
Anne Wilson makes music where faith and country meet, a rare space where honesty, grief and hope live side by side. At just 23, she has already crossed the 2 billion streams milestone and emerged as one of the most distinctive new voices in both Christian and country music.
 
Her third studio album, Stars, captures a young artist growing up on record. Shaped by the tragic loss of her brother Jacob, Wilson's faith could have been shattered — but instead it was strengthened. That tension, of wrestling with God yet still loving Jesus, defines her music and makes her profoundly relatable. “Faith isn't about never questioning,” she says. “It's about holding on in the middle of the storm.”
 
Stars threads together themes of grief, growth, maturity and wonder, carried by Wilson's soaring vocals and country-pop production. From the wide-eyed imagery of the title track to the raw prayer of “Carry Me” and the redemption arc of “Dead in the Water,” the album reflects both the hardship of loss and the joy of new perspective.
Alongside the album, Wilson will deliver her new music to fans in person on The STARS Tour. She's also recently released a 40-day Hey Girl Devotional, out now. Named after her encouraging anthem, the devotional is aimed at young readers, extending her message of identity and Christ-centered hope beyond the stage.
Anne Wilson is still becoming, still wrestling and still rejoicing – but Stars proves she's shining brighter not in spite of the struggle, but because of it.
