For some reason she was abruptly
criticized which prompted her to release the full written statement seen below.
I NEVER said I left during any particular performance. I only said I
left early.
I never pointed out any one particular performance, I only said I had
many thought about the entire show, which were best left inside my head and
that is where they will stay. So those who say I condemned one performance but
then condoned others clearly did not read the post.
Natalie Grant’s tweet and
clarification after the cut... 
What I DID say is this: I am honored to be a part of the Christian music
community. I’ve had many people throughout my career ask why I never tried to
go in to mainstream music and last night was a beautiful reminder that I love
singing about Jesus and FOR Jesus.
I’ve judged no one. I hate no one. And I believe that every person has
been created in the image of God. I will never stand on a street corner and
wave a sign, I won’t use my platform to engage in political arguments that will
only divide and not unite. I will continue to pray that my life will be my
message. I do have my own personal convictions that I live by, and I will
continue to work out my own salvation with fear and trembling before the Lord.
(Philippians 2:12)
I was honored to be nominated for 2 Grammy awards last night. I’m so
grateful that NARAS and The Grammys continue to recognize the contribution that
gospel and Christian music make to the world. And I’m so thrilled for those who
won in my categories. And I can say that with all sincerity.
My last thought: “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus for it is the
power of God who brings salvation to ALL who believe.” Romans 1:16
