When Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney met and decided to become a duo, they did not want to use the word "and" or an ampersand between their first names. Instead, they wanted to use the plus sign to represent the word "and", which has become a signature symbol in their duo name (of course!), song titles ("Heaven + Back" and "19 You + Me"), on social media when the guys put out new music, and when it comes to building one of the stages for their tours.

#SnapshotSunday to this cool picture of Dan + Shay performing on the red plus sign stage at their Heartbreak On The Map Tour stop in Fort Worth TX on March 9, 2024 that was featured in their Instagram post after the show. Looking at Smyers and Mooney sitting on stools performing in the center of the plus sign stage surrounded by fans, some of who had their cell phone flashlights on, you can tell that the guys really took in this incredible moment. When I saw them on this tour five days later on March 14 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI, the duo were in awe of the crowd's applause and showed their gratitude for us throughout the entire show. 

Stay tuned for future posts that feature the plus sign stage turned different colors throughout the years on the duos tour and how it has been used many times when the the guys announce new music!
