EMILY ANN ROBERTS WEAVES A CAPTIVATING THREAD ON NEW EP – OUT NOW
CMA NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR NOMINEE
Supporting Cody Johnson on his UK/IE tour this month
NASHVILLE, TN. – CMA and ACM Awards nominee Emily Ann Roberts has released her new collection, Thread, today via RECORDS Nashville / Sony Music Nashville. Listen here.
From the opening title track to quietly devastating closer ‘Laundry’, Thread beams with Roberts’ radiant spirit and effortless charm as she reaches a whole new level of emotional complexity. As a co-writer on every track, Roberts weaves dynamic and deeply emotional stories that honor her Appalachian influences and are even more dazzling set against the bluegrass-tinged instrumentation and time-honored musical traditions Roberts has embraced since childhood.
The firecracker talent has spent most of 2026 splitting time between supporting superstars including Cody Johson and Thomas Rhett while also headlining sold-out shows across the country and hitting high-profile festivals. She’ll join Johnson for a European run later this month, with stops in London, Dublin, Glasgow and additional cities across the UK. It was recently announced that she will be heading back to C2C Festival in 2027, taking the main stage in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Berlin, and Rotterdam.
2026 UK TOUR DATES:
October 27 – London – The O2*
November 1 – Birmingham – Utilita Arena*
November 2 – Glasgow – OVO Hydro*
November 4 – Belfast – SSE Arena Belfast*
November 5 – Dublin – 3Arena*

In addition to her multiple Awards nominations this year, Roberts was also named to Opry NextStage and MusicRow’s Next Big Thing Classes of 2026, AIMP Nashville’s Rising Artist-Writer of the Year, and MusicRow’s Discovery Artist of the Year, plus performed on the VIP Platform Stage at Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest. Her star continues to quickly rise as fans fall in love with wit, charisma, and undeniable stage presence.
ABOUT EMILY ANN ROBERTS:
A truly singular voice in modern country music, Emily Ann Roberts is the rare artist whose rise to stardom has only brought her closer to her roots. In the last year alone, the Knoxville-born singer/songwriter has earned New Artist nominations from the ACM and CMA Awards, landed on coveted lists like Opry NextStage and MusicRow’s Next Big Thing Classes Of 2026, and lit up arenas across the country on tour with superstars such as Cody Johnson and Thomas Rhett. With nearly 200 million global streams and bolstered by an ever-growing community of fans (thanks in part to her much-beloved “Yeehaw Meemaw” persona), Roberts now steps into her next chapter with Thread: a five-song EP that finds a new kind of magic in the timeless sounds and storytelling heritage she’s treasured all her life. The latest addition to a catalog including her widely celebrated 2023 debut album Can’t Hide Country, Thread reaches a whole new level of emotional complexity while sustaining the radiant spirit of her past work, adorning its earthy instrumentation with her warm yet powerful vocals and an abundance of breathtaking melodies.
Signed to RECORDS Nashville/Sony Music Nashville, Roberts continues to expand her reach onstage as well as on record. She’ll support Johnson on his UK/European run – marking her first return overseas since her rapturously received appearance at C2C: Country to Country – bringing her vibrant musicality and down-to-earth but dazzling charisma to her biggest audiences yet.
