By 1991 she enjoyed mainstream pop success as well with the song «Baby, Baby.» By the end of the ’90s Grant was a bona fide celebrity (with ties to pop, gospel and country music), with hit records, TV specials, a stab at acting and a public divorce. After her divorce she continued to record, and in 2000 she married country music star Vince Gill. Her 2005 release, Rock of Ages… Hymns & Faith, won a Grammy award for best southern, country or bluegrass album.
