Vince Gill and Amy Grant’s beloved annual Christmas residency at the Ryman Auditorium took on an extra layer of magic this year when their daughter, Corinna Grant Gill, stepped onto the stage for a stunning surprise performance. At just 23, Corinna—who performs under the name Corrina—needed only moments to captivate the audience.
Before the song began, Grant beamed with pride, sharing how much it meant to have their daughter join them on stage. Dressed in an elegant black gown adorned with shimmering crystals, Corinna exuded poise and star power. But it was her voice—rich, emotive, and mature beyond her years—that truly stole the show.
Taking a seat nearby, Grant watched with misty eyes as Corinna delivered a deeply personal rendition of When My Amy Prays, a song Gill originally wrote as a tribute to his wife. In a poignant twist, Corinna altered the lyrics, transforming it into When My Mama Prays—a heartfelt tribute that resonated with every soul in the room.
With Gill providing a delicate guitar accompaniment, Corinna’s voice soared, carrying a message of love, faith, and the quiet power of a mother’s prayers. The audience sat spellbound, fully immersed in the moment.
By the time the final note faded, the crowd erupted in a thunderous ovation, recognizing not just Corinna’s immense talent but the depth of emotion she poured into the song. One audience member later remarked, “Her grace and vocal control were breathtaking. She honored her father’s songwriting while making the song uniquely her own—a true testament to her artistry.”
This unforgettable moment not only showcased Corinna’s extraordinary gift but also reinforced the enduring legacy of faith, music, and family that defines the Gill-Grant household.
