Christmas is about hope and we all need to be reminded of that right now,” says Grant. “Reuniting with
Michael for a run of Christmas shows just feels right. We both love Christmas music and doing this tour
together is one of my favorite things I get to do all year long.”
Smith adds, “This is my absolute favorite time of the year and I am so happy to be back on the road with
my dear friend, Amy Grant. We’ve been doing this tour together for many years and it just never gets
old. It is going to be something extra special this year.”

Amy Grant's career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an
iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums,
six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and
over one billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six
No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary
Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six Grammy® Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards
(including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame. Conventional
wisdom has it that Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map becoming the first
Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts and the
first to perform at the GRAMMY® Awards. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of
the past four decades is assured. In April of 2016, Grant celebrated the 25th anniversary of her iconic hit
“Baby Baby” with a worldwide release of the song featuring pop sensation Tori Kelly. Tennessee
Christmas released in late 2016 and marked Grant’s first all-new holiday album in nearly 20 years. Last
February, The T.J. Martell Foundation – the music industry’s leading nonprofit to fund innovative
medical research focused on treatments and cures for cancer – honored Grant with the Tony Martell
Outstanding Entertainment Achievement Award at their 2020 Honors Gala. 2021 finds Grant celebrating
her iconic, 5x platinum album, Heart In Motion, releasing a double disc 35th Anniversary Edition that
includes never before released tracks and updated remixes of the hit singles. For more information, visit
