Vince Gill and Amy Grant to Open “The All-American Halftime Show” — A Heartfelt and Patriotic Alternative to Super Bowl 60
Nashville, Tennessee — In a touching announcement that has already captured the nation’s heart, beloved duo Vince Gill and Amy Grant are set to open “The All-American Halftime Show,” a powerful new event that offers a faith-filled, patriotic alternative to the traditional Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show.
The celebrated couple — whose love story and artistry have inspired generations — will take the stage in Nashville, performing a moving rendition of “Grown-Up Christmas List,” the same song that left audiences in tears during their December 14, 2023 performance at the Ryman Auditorium. Their emotional duet will set the tone for a show dedicated to faith, family, love, and the enduring American spirit.
Organized by Turning Point USA and led by Erika Kirk, widow of the late Charlie Kirk, “The All-American Halftime Show” is shaping up to be one of the most meaningful cultural events of the year. Blending patriotism, prayer, and performance, the event will unite music legends and new voices alike in celebration of what makes America unique — its compassion, courage, and sense of community.
For Vince Gill and Amy Grant, who have shared both the stage and life’s journey for over two decades, this performance will be especially significant. Their marriage — grounded in faith, grace, and mutual respect — mirrors the very message the show seeks to convey: that love, when rooted in belief and service, can still heal and inspire.
“Music has a way of bringing people together, especially when it comes from a place of truth,” Gill said in a brief statement. “Amy and I are honored to be part of something that celebrates not just music, but the heart of our country.”
Their opening performance will blend tenderness with reverence, offering viewers across the nation a moment of stillness amid the spectacle of Super Bowl weekend. The couple’s harmony — both musical and emotional — will serve as a reminder that even in uncertain times, faith and love remain the most powerful lights on any stage.
The “All-American Halftime Show” will also feature performances by Willie Nelson, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, George Strait, and Blake Shelton, creating an unforgettable lineup that bridges generations of American music. Together, these artists will turn the night into a living celebration of hope and heritage.
For Erika Kirk, this show represents both a tribute and a renewal. “Charlie believed that America’s soul still shines brightest when people come together through music and faith,” she said. “This event is about remembering who we are — one nation, under God, united by love and song.”
As the lights dim and Vince Gill and Amy Grant take the stage, their voices intertwined once more, audiences can expect more than a performance — they’ll witness a moment of grace. Because in a world that often forgets what matters most, this duo continues to remind us that love — and faith — still light the stage.
