6/4/20261 hr 9 min
Christian music icon and crossover star Amy Grant sits down with Bobby to talk about the tragic bike crash that changed her life and the long road back that followed. She also looks back on getting a record deal at just 15 years old, becoming famous almost by accident, and what it was like trying to navigate success while still being so young. Amy shares why she sees some parallels between her own career and Taylor Swift, reflects on the unexpected path her life took, and tells the story of getting Minnie Pearl’s blessing to name her daughter after her. It’s a conversation about resilience, early success, perspective, and the moments that shaped one of music’s most enduring careers.
