About Emily Ann Roberts
Emily Ann Roberts is a country singer from Knoxville, Tennessee. She finished as runner-up on season 9 of The Voice in 2015, on Team Blake, after a two-chair turn. After years of gospel touring, label moves, and sold-out headlining shows, she signed with RECORDS and Sony Music Nashville in 2025 and released the Thread EP in October 2026. The Thread Tour is her first headline tour, capping a journey that began with her Voice run in 2015.
2026 honors
Roberts earned her first CMA Awards nomination in 2026. The category is New Artist of the Year. She also earned an ACM nomination for New Female Artist of the Year. Press coverage reports both nominations. She joined the MusicRow Next Big Thing class of 2026. She joined the Opry NextStage class of 2026. She was named AIMP Nashville Rising Artist-Writer of the Year. She was named MusicRow Discovery Artist of the Year. The official CMA and ACM list pages were not located. So this page reports the nominations as reported. It never presents them as confirmed list facts.

Planning notes
The Thread Tour setlist is unknown because the tour has not started, and the setlist guide stays row-only until shows play. Concert length is also unknown, and old-tour lengths are never presented as Thread Tour facts. Support is still unlisted or to be announced for Chicago, Durant, Fort Worth, and Harris, with rechecks before each show. Day-of-show set-times rechecks apply to every city page.
Not this tour
Her late 2026 run supporting Cody Johnson and her January 2027 Crash My Playa appearance are pre-tour history, never Thread dates. Her own October 20 quote about 23 cities predates the added Knoxville and Nashville shows and is never the current count. Her official site is emilyannroberts.com; the lookalike emilyannroberts.org is not her site.
Past shows
She played sold-out headlining shows in 2026. A fan vlog records her Thomas Rhett support slot in Austin on September 17, 2026. A fan review describes her Back Road Music Festival 2025 headline set.
