MIRANDA LAMBERT: ONE NIGHT ONLY TO OPEN NASHVILLE’S THE TRUTH ON OCT. 1

Ahead of her highly anticipated album Crisco arriving Oct. 2 via MCA, three-time GRAMMY Award winner Miranda Lambert will headline the Oct. 1 opening night of Nashville’s newest live music venue, The Truth, for a full set featuring her catalog of award-winning hits alongside a preview of select tracks off the new album. Tickets for “Miranda Lambert: One Night Only” go on sale to the general public this Friday, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m. CT via thetruthnashville.com.
 
Set in Nashville’s Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, the 4,400-capacity venue will welcome Lambert as its inaugural artist for a one-night-only performance that feature a 12-piece string section as she celebrates Crisco in the city that has been home to so much of her creative life and career.
 
“It was magical to hear the way strings can transform a song when we were in the studio creating this record, and I can’t wait to bring that to life in an even bigger way with our full setlist,” shared Lambert. “We’ve never gotten to play that way on stage, and to have the opportunity to do it for the first time at the opening of a beautiful new venue right here in Nashville is going to be really special.”
 
The opening-night performance comes as Lambert enters a new creative era with Crisco, a vibrant and joyful collection inspired in part by the long-overlooked connection between country music’s dance hall tradition and the energy of disco. Early previews of the project include “Sunset Marquis,” a dreamy, California-soaked song, the previously released title track, “Till The Going’s Gone” and GRAMMY-nominated duet “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton which all join in showcasing the vibrant layers and joyful creative spirit at the heart of Crisco.

Miranda Lambert's MuttNation Foundation Awards $250K+ in Surprise Grants w/ Tractor Supply Co.

Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation has once again teamed up with Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, to donate $255,000 to animal welfare organizations across the country. Through MuttNation’s annual Mutts Across America program, one outstanding shelter or foster-based rescue in every state – along with a “Wildcard” pick in honor of Lambert’s GRAMMY-winning album of the same name – is celebrated with a surprise $5,000 grant.

“Mutts Across America is one of my favorite MuttNation programs because it lets us show our appreciation to the people at the shelters who are doing the hard work every day,” said Lambert. “And to make it even more special, the grants are always a surprise – there's no way to apply or be nominated. Tractor Supply has been such an amazing partner, and we're so grateful for their commitment to MuttNation and to shelter pets across the country.”

Since the initiative was developed over 10 years ago by Lambert’s mother, Bev, Mutts Across America has supported more than 600 shelters with over $2.5 million in grants. Tractor Supply began partnering with MuttNation in 2021.

“At Tractor Supply, caring for pets and animals isn’t just part of our business – it’s core to who we are,” said Kimberley Gardiner, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer at Tractor Supply. “While we’ve partnered with local and national shelters for decades, our work with MuttNation allows us to deepen that commitment in truly meaningful ways. Together, we’re expanding our reach to drive critical support for the vital work these shelters do every day.”

Each year, MuttNation conducts extensive research to carefully select the organizations to be honored. Recipients are given no advance notice before receiving the award. 
 
In addition to the Mutts Across America partnership, MuttNation and Tractor Supply started the Relief For Rescues Fund in 2023 to help shelters and shelter pets recover from natural disasters. Most recently, the fund has assisted with recovery from 2026 floods in Texas and Tennessee and tornadoes in Kentucky. To date, the fund has generated over $2.2 million and provides year-round recovery support for natural disasters such as floods, fires, hurricanes and tornadoes, as well as in other emergency situations.  

Tractor Supply is also the exclusive retailer of MuttNation pet products, with a percentage of sales going towards supporting the mission of the MuttNation Foundation.

Miranda Lambert Announces Billy Bob's Album Release Show to Celebrate 'Crisco'

In celebration of her highly anticipated new album Crisco arriving Oct. 2 via MCA, Miranda Lambert will return to her home state for a one-night-only album release show on Tuesday, Oct. 6, with tickets on sale to the general public this Friday, Aug. 14 at 10 a.m. CT via MirandaLambert.com.
 
Fittingly, the celebration will take place at Billy Bob’s Texas, where generations of fans have filled one of country music’s most iconic dance floors. It’s a natural homecoming for Crisco, an album inspired by the long-overlooked kinship between country music’s dance hall tradition and its shared heartbeat with disco clubs.
 
“When I was in the studio recording Crisco, I kept picturing the rhinestone saddle at Billy Bob’s,” shares Lambert. “It’s the perfect visual for a country disco album: honky tonk with some extra rhinestones and shine. I’ve played some of my all-time favorite shows at Billy Bob’s and it felt like the best place to bring everyone together to have fun and live out the feeling of this album.”
  
The show announcement comes on the heels of Friday’s release of “Sunset Marquis,” a dreamy, California-soaked song that joins the previously released title track plus “Till The Going’s Gone” and GRAMMY-nominated duet “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton in showcasing the vibrant layers and joyful creative spirit at the heart of Crisco.

Miranda Lambert Previews 10/2 Album 'Crisco' with "Sunset Marquis," Out Now

Miranda Lambert continues to unveil her highly anticipated new album with today’s release of “Sunset Marquis.” The dreamy, California-soaked song adds another vibrant layer to the joyful creative spirit at the heart of Crisco, arriving October 2 via MCA. Listen Below and pre-order / pre-save the album HERE.
 
Written by Lambert alongside co-producer Jesse Frasure, David Garcia, Waylon Payne and Ashley Monroe, “Sunset Marquis” is an homage to the iconic West Hollywood hotel that has long served as a creative refuge for musicians, actors and artists alike. Floating on a breezy, ’70s-inspired groove, the song captures the timeless allure of a place “where time stands still... where the stars come out and the music’s loud,” inviting listeners to slip away into its unmistakable atmosphere.
 
“I've been staying at the Sunset Marquis for close to 20 years,” shares Lambert. “Every time I'm there, you never know who you’re going to run into or what kind of memories you’re going to make. It has this timeless energy that feels like stepping into another era. When we wrote this song, I wanted listeners to be able to close their eyes and feel like they were there with us – to see it, smell it and experience the magic that’s made the Sunset Marquis such a special place for so many years.”
 
Released alongside the song is an official visualizer that brings the track’s nostalgic energy to life, featuring Lambert in a Cat O’Nine bodysuit with a gleaming vintage red convertible bathed in vibrant neon light as she channels the timeless glamour, romance and late-night mystique of the legendary hideaway that inspired the song.
 
“Sunset Marquis” also extends beyond the album, appearing in the forthcoming documentary If These Walls Could Rock, available to stream on digital platforms beginning next Friday, Aug. 14.
 
The song joins the previously released title track plus “Till The Going’s Gone” and GRAMMY-nominated duet “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton in previewing Crisco. Produced by Lambert and Frasure, the forthcoming album celebrates the many worlds that have always existed within country music as it nods to the genre’s shared history with disco music. Across 12 tracks, Lambert explores heartbreak and hope, highways and honky-tonks, rhinestones and roller skates, creating a record that feels both timeless and refreshingly alive while embracing every side of the artist fans have come to love: the storyteller, the wanderer, the romantic, the troublemaker, the traditionalist and the dreamer.

Miranda Lambert's CRISCO Arrives 10/2; "Till The Going's Gone" Available 6/26

Miranda Lambert has spent more than two decades building one of the most celebrated catalogs in country music by trusting her instincts. On her forthcoming album, Crisco, arriving October 2 via MCA, she does exactly that once again. From dance floors and dive bars to desert highways and kitchen-table conversations, Crisco celebrates the many worlds that have always existed within country music.
 
Produced by Lambert together with Jesse Frasure, Crisco is a vibrant, free-spirited collection that embraces every side of the artist fans have come to love: the storyteller, the wanderer, the romantic, the troublemaker, the traditionalist and the dreamer. Across 12 tracks, Lambert explores heartbreak and hope, highways and honky-tonks, rhinestones and reflection, creating a record that feels both timeless and refreshingly alive. Pre-order / pre-save HERE.
 
“I've always loved every corner of country music,” Lambert shares. “The heartbreak songs, the honky-tonk songs, the songs that make you think and the songs that make you dance. Making this record reminded me that those things don’t have to be separated. We followed the songs wherever they wanted to go, trusted our instincts and ended up with something that feels really fun and really honest to who I am.”
 
That spirit runs throughout Crisco. The album’s previously released title track nods to the long-shared connection between country music and the dance floor, while songs like “Whiskey Business,” “Cuttin’ Onions,” “Cowgirl Curtsy” and “Two Things Can Be True” showcase Lambert’s signature blend of wit, vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom.
 
Elsewhere, “Till The Going’s Gone” – arriving tomorrow, June 26, as a further preview of the album to come – captures the restless quest for freedom that has long defined her songwriting, while “To Everything” embraces uncertainty and adventure, “Sunset Marquis” drifts toward escapism and possibility and “Right Where We Left It” reflects on nostalgia and second chances.
 
From the mythic cowgirl energy of “Snakeskin Boots” to the timeless devotion of the Chris Stapleton duet “A Song To Sing” and Lambert’s take on Jim Croce’s “I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song,” the album finds her honoring country music’s past while remaining open to wherever curiosity and inspiration might lead.
 
Written alongside a trusted circle of longtime collaborators including Natalie Hemby, Ashley Monroe, Waylon Payne, Aaron Raitiere, Josh Osborne and more, Crisco remains rooted in the storytelling and songwriting tradition that has defined Lambert’s career. The result is an album that serves not to redefine country music but to widen its lens, showcasing an artist reconnecting with and embracing the full spectrum of sounds, stories and influences that have always existed within it.
 
CDs & vinyls, including signed options, are available to pre-order now via MCA.com and MirandaLambert.com.

Miranda Lambert Slathers “Crisco” – ACM Awards Get Country & Disco’d

When it comes to music, Miranda Lambert isn’t playing. The fierce songwriter from Lindale, Texas has always leaned hard into Lone Star traditions, while moving what country music can be forward with a strong set of roots. Leave it to the woman who co-wrote and co-produced Ella Langley’s tsunami of a song “Choosin’ Texas” to return with music that takes a whole new spin on what dance hall cowboys can embrace with a strong sense of retro and a whole lot of fun.
 
Expanding on “A Song To Sing,” one of her two ACM Music Event of the Year nominations, Lambert takes the Chris Stapleton duet’s roller rink innocence – and deep dives into a pair of distinctive retro dancefloor sounds. Drawing on the good timing two steppery of “Urban Cowboy” and the sleek, disco urbanity of “Saturday Night Fever,” Lambert pioneers of a whole new sound with her first release with MCA, “Crisco.” 
 
Literally, country and disco twisted together by luxurious strings and a melody that twirls around listeners. With lyrics that invoke in a real life way Starland Vocal Band’s “Afternoon Delight,” Glen Campbell’s “Southern Nights” and Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream,” as well as outright name-checking Conway (Twitty), Loretta (Lynn) and the Seventies, one can’t help but feel brighter, lighter and ready to kick up their heels. 
 
“We wanted something that feels familiar but also fresh, which is really hard to do,” Lambert enthuses. “We leaned into all the things I grew up loving about country music – Glen Campbell, Kenny and Dolly; very ’70s and ’80s. It’s a fun mix of all these sides of country music that I’ve never fully explored before, even down to using strings in a bigger way. I almost can’t believe I’ve made this many records without really going there, but it was magical to hear how much strings can transform a song.” 

To really bring that recipe home, the song co-written with Aaron Raitiere, Jesse Frasure and Chill Fellacheck boasts a chorus that breaks it down: 
        Baby, we’ve been cooking with Crisco
        Ain’t we mixin’ country and disco
        Stir it around, give it a spin
        And it’s a rhinestone world we’re livin’ in…
 
Further paying homage to the era and the influences, Lambert will debut the ebullient confection at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards this Sunday, May 17, streaming live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Prime Video at 8 p.m. ET.
 
Beyond her pair of Music Event nods – the second for “Trailblazer” with Lainey Wilson and Reba McEntire – plus both Song and Visual Media of the Year with Stapleton, Lambert is nominated for Female Artist of the Year and for Song and Single as co-writer and co-producer of Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” As a strong advocate for females, new artists and Texas, the 2022 Entertainer of the Year rides into the 2026 ACM Awards strong.
 
“There’s nothing that makes me happy like music,” Lambert says. “Going to Vegas, nominated with old friends, new friends and on my own, as an artist, but also a producer and writer, that makes me feel like we’re just getting started. With ‘Crisco,’ it’s gonna be a great time seeing where it’s all gonna go.”

MIRANDA LAMBERT’S MUTTNATION FOUNDATION AND DORIS DAY ANIMAL FOUNDATION AWARD OVER $230,000 IN GRANTS

Miranda Lambert, the most decorated artist in Academy of Country Music history, announced that her MuttNation Foundation’s It Takes Balls spay and neuter campaign, in partnership with the Doris Day Animal Foundation, has awarded $233,000 to 63 eligible shelters, rescues and clinics throughout Southern California.  

“Shelters do incredible work, saving millions of lives,” said Lambert, “but our big dream is a world where they don't need saving. Our partnership with the Doris Day Animal Foundation is helping make that a reality by reaching thousands of pets through spay and neuter. It’s the best tool we have – alongside adoption and fostering – to keep our best friends out of shelters and in loving homes.” 

“Early in her pioneering animal welfare efforts, Doris Day recognized that spaying and neutering is essential to addressing the root cause of pet overpopulation and ultimately saves countless lives,” said Dr. Bob Bashara, CEO of the Doris Day Animal Foundation. “Through our partnership with MuttNation Foundation, these grants will help provide affordable access to spay and neuter services in communities where resources may be limited and access to veterinary care can be challenging. By supporting these efforts, we can help reduce shelter overcrowding and give more dogs and cats the chance for the safe, loving homes they deserve.”

There are an estimated 70 million stray cats and dogs in the U.S., and 87% of animals in underserved communities are not spayed or neutered. Accessible spay and neuter services are one of the most powerful ways to end the cycle of pet overpopulation and save lives.

MIRANDA LAMBERT GETS COOKING WITH “CRISCO”

Three-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert launches a bold new chapter on May 15 with the infectious new song, “Crisco,” marking the first release under her newly announced label partnership with MCA. Pre-save / pre-add HERE.
 
Blending classic country soul with a shimmering ‘70s disco glow, “Crisco” delivers a feel-good anthem driven by lush strings, jangly piano keys and an irresistible groove, with Lambert leaning into sonic textures she’s long admired yet never fully explored – until now.
 
“It has so many elements of the country music that I love that I’ve never put on tape,” she shares of the song co-written with Aaron Raitiere, Jesse Frasure and Chill Fellacheck. “There’s a looseness to it, a joy. It feels like dancing in your kitchen with the person you love, spinning old records, not overthinking a thing.”
 
Written with Lambert’s signature playful wink and anchored in vivid, nostalgic imagery, the song nods to timeless classics like “Southern Nights” and “Islands in the Stream,” bridging generations of country music while expanding its boundaries to carve out something entirely fresh. 
 
As Variety declares, Lambert possesses a “groundedness in the classic sounds and attitudes of country music, which is one thing that has helped make her arguably the most valuable figure in the mainstream of the genre since the turn of the century.” With “Crisco,” she further expands her career that has long been defined by authenticity and evolution, opening the door to her next creative phase.

Miranda Lambert Lands 8: Artist, Writer and Producer ACM Noms

Multihyphenate superstar Miranda Lambert, the most-decorated artist in Academy of Country Music history, earned eight nominations for the upcoming 61st ACM Awards, the second highest tally of any artist. 
 
“Honored to wake up and be among the most nominated for the ACM Awards,” Lambert shares. “It’s always special to be recognized and it’s even better when it’s alongside friends and heroes.” 

She received her 18th nomination for Female Artist of the Year as well as her ninth nomination for Song of the Year and 16th total nomination (including Artist and Songwriter credits) in the category.
 
“You’d have to look pretty far and wide to find anyone in music who has been as consistently good or eternally enjoyable as Miranda Lambert,” remarks Rolling Stone. “Almost 20 years into her run, she’s defined her career by always going her own way, both musically and lyrically.”
 
In addition to her own artistry, Lambert is also nominated for her work as both a songwriter and a producer, demonstrating her ongoing impact across the genre. “Choosin’ Texas,” the record-setting hit recorded by Ella Langley, earns nods for Lambert in both the Song and Single of the Year categories as the track’s co-writer and producer.
 
“Miranda held down women in country on a mainstream level for a decade and change; this is as much a win for her legacy as it is for Ella’s still-growing stardom,” shares Billboard of the song, continuing, “while she continues to make music of her own – she was nominated for a GRAMMY this year – she definitely seems to be thriving behind the scenes, including co-running Big Loud Texas. This is validation for her influence, her talent and underrated ability as a songwriter.”
 
Additionally, Lambert is honored for her “A Song to Sing” duet with longtime friend and collaborator Chris Stapleton, earning nods in the Song, Music Event and Visual Media of the Year categories for their co-write.
 
“At a time when country is so many things, Lambert and Stapleton seem both a true north and a hinge for the future of the same Outlaw culture Waylon and Willie conjured,” notes POLLSTAR. “Musically robust, they want to make actual country music with their roots firmly planted, but with the ability to create on their terms. It’s not fighting Music Row as much as fighting for greatness.”
 
Fittingly for year where four women lead the nomination counts, Lambert also earned a Music Event of the Year nod for her female-empowered collaboration with Reba McEntire and Lainey Wilson, “Trailblazer.”
 
“Wilson is just about inarguably the best thing to happen to country music since Miranda Lambert, who in turn was one of the best things to happen since Reba. So it felt intuitively natural – but by no means commercially inevitable – when those three teamed up,” declares Variety of the song praised by Music Row as “an utterly historic collaboration among three generations of female country excellence.”
 
The 61st ACM Awards will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT from the world-renowned MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fans will also be able to watch the broadcast on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, as well as in the Amazon Music app.
 
Tickets for the 61st ACM Awards and ACM Awards week events are available for purchase on AXS.com, offering fans exclusive entry into a nonstop weekend packed with performances by their favorite Country stars.

MIRANDA LAMBERT’S MUTTNATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES THREE-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH DORIS DAY ANIMAL FOUNDATION FOR SPAY & NEUTER

In celebration of World Spay Day today, Feb. 24, country music icon Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation has announced a three-year partnership for its spay & neuter program, “It Takes Balls,” with the Doris Day Animal Foundation. The 2026 “It Takes Balls” campaign will focus specifically on Southern California. The initiative, which kicked off in 2023, raises awareness for the importance of spay & neuter and has provided over 125 grants thus far to qualifying low-cost programs throughout Tennessee and Texas. 

“We’re so excited and honored to be partnering with the Doris Day Animal Foundation and are grateful for their amazing commitment to spay & neuter,” said Lambert. “Everyone knows that Doris Day holds an unparalleled place in film and music – but do they also know she started Spay Day USA in 1995 (now World Spay Day)? When I found out, I knew this was a perfect partnership and I want everyone to know about her enduring passion for animals.” 

“We couldn’t be more pleased to partner with Miranda Lambert and MuttNation Foundation on such an important initiative,” said Doris Day Animal Foundation CEO Bob Bashara. “Establishing Spay Day USA over 30 years ago and seeing it evolve into today’s World Spay Day was one of Doris Day’s proudest achievements in her pioneering animal welfare advocacy. As DDAF carries on Doris’ legacy, we are grateful that Miranda and MuttNation share our passion and dedication to make this a better world for the animals, and together we can make a meaningful difference in reducing the homeless pet population and euthanasia rates.”

Despite the great work being done by most animal shelters, they are not equipped to handle the annual number of incoming animals. In 2025, 5.8 million animals entered shelters and 597,000 were euthanized, often due to lack of space. One of the most impactful ways to reduce those numbers is through spay & neuter. 

MuttNation is inviting low cost spay & neuter programs in Southern California to complete and submit a grant application HERE to help fight this ongoing issue.

Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation Honors Horse Haven of Tennessee With 2025 Idyllwind Award

Country music icon and passionate animal advocate Miranda Lambert announces her MuttNation Foundation’s 2025 Idyllwind Award, honoring Horse Haven of Tennessee in Seymour, Tenn. with a $25,000 donation. The Idyllwind Award, named in honor of Lambert’s first horse, Idyllwind Ellund, annually recognizes an outstanding U.S. equine rescue or sanctuary that rehabilitates and/or rehomes horses that have been neglected, abused or abandoned, while also educating the public about the difficult conditions these horses face. 

“One thing that really stood out about Horse Haven of Tennessee is that they’re available for emergency equine rescue to all 95 counties in the state – that’s huge,” shares Lambert of this year’s recipient. “And, of course, the amazing work they do to help rehabilitate and rehome the animals that come into their care.”

“At Horse Haven of Tennessee, every rescue begins with hope, and the Idyllwind Award helps turn that hope into healing,” notes Ashley Ford, Executive Director. “This support strengthens our ability to rehabilitate neglected and abused horses, giving them the care, safety, and second chances they deserve. We are incredibly grateful for this partnership and the impact it will have on the equines who rely on us.”

Lambert introduced the Idyllwind Award last year at the Boot Barn x Wonderwest 2024 Fashion Show. This year, Boot Barn – which serves as the exclusive retailer of her lifestyle brand, Idyllwind – held a donation-at-checkout campaign in September with 100% of funds raised supporting the Idyllwind Award horse rescues. 

“At Boot Barn, we believe upholding the traditions of the West means caring for everything that makes that life possible—especially the horses that define so much of the Western spirit,” says Stephen Loscko, VP of Marketing and Media at Boot Barn. “Miranda Lambert’s commitment to equine welfare echoes our dedication to supporting all those who live and breathe the Western lifestyle. We’re proud to join her in recognizing organizations like Horse Haven of Tennessee and the life-changing work they do for equine rescue and rehabilitation."

Lambert, one of the most passionate and celebrated animal advocates, has championed shelter pets her entire life. Her deep affinity for horses grew more serious when she began showing in 2014. In 2024, she won a Blue Ribbon at the 2024 Oklahoma State Fair for her Gypsy Vanner horses.
 
“The bond is unlike any other,” she shares of what makes horses so special. “It’s a complete and mutual trust – there’s no other word for it – just love.” She currently owns six horses and two dogs, plus several cats, goats and chickens. 

The Idyllwind Award is administered by the MuttNation Foundation, a donation-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton’s “A Song To Sing” Gets Dreamy Disco Treatment

Country music giants Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton deliver a 70s-inspired music video for their first true duet collaboration, “A Song To Sing,” praised by Rolling Stone for “its dreamy disco groove and lovestruck devotion.”
 
Directed by Running Bear and produced by James Stratakis, the video features the pair of visionaries, clad in matching terracotta suits (with cameos from Morgane Stapleton in gold lamé), taking the stage at Brentwood Skate Center to perform the Stereogum-dubbed “slinky arrangement” with “the two singers’ enormous, intertwined vocals.” A callback to an era of music epitomized by Ronnie Milsap, Waylon Jennings, and especially the classic Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers duets, the collaborators borrowed jewelry from Rogers’ and Parton’s estates, with Lambert wearing a pair of Parton’s gold clip-on hoop earrings and Stapleton donning a lion necklace of Rogers’.
 
The music video for “A Song To Sing” arrives on the heels of the biggest streaming debut of Lambert’s career, racking up more than 3.3 million U.S. streams and over 4.3 million streams globally in its first week. The track also topped 27,000 in U.S. track consumption. Co-written by the pair along with Jesse Frasure and Jenee Fleenor, and produced by Dave Cobb, the song also arrived at No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart.
 
Lambert and Stapleton boast a combined 14 GRAMMY, 33 Country Music Association and 59 Academy of Country Music awards and have each influenced generations with their singular artistries and distinctive creative points of view.

‘Band Together Texas’ Rallies Over $8.5 Million in Funds for Central Texas Flood Relief

Notable Texas artists, actors and athletes joined Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas Sunday night for their “Band Together Texas” benefit concert, honoring the lives lost in the Central Texas floods, and celebrating the every day heroes and first responders who saved countless others. The event, which benefitted The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Central Texas Community Foundation, raised over $8.5 million and counting.
 
The sold-out evening spanned nearly three hours and was livestreamed via iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, YouTube, Facebook and nugs.net, with a call to action directing fans to donate to continued relief efforts. 
 
Actor Matthew McConaughey opened with a monologue underscoring the importance of the event: “The devastating floods that took so many lives, businesses and homes last month broke a lot of hearts. As that day gets further away into the distance of our rearview mirror, it’s only natural that our concern and attention recede just like those flood waters—but we must remember, for the families who suffered, they are just beginning the lengthy journey to rebuild their lives.
 
​​"Tonight is about restoration… we are here to revive--Because even in the hardest times, we have to believe in the power of joy. So while we honor the heavy truths that brought us here, we will also celebrate the light that must continue to shine.”
 
“Thank you Austin, Texas for showing up tonight. Thank you, everybody, for tuning in and showing up for us. We are banding together as Texans tonight,” Lambert addressed the audience following her duet with McCollum on the George Strait classic, “True,” marking the first live performance of the evening. “It’s going to be a magical night of music, and for an amazing cause. My buddy Parker and I, we called each other right away and we asked, ‘What can we do? We can sing, so let’s go sing.’ And that’s what we’re doing tonight!”
 
Following Lambert’s performance of “Bluebird” and “The House That Built Me,” she introduced her friend, Red Dirt singer Wade Bowen, for a touching in memoriam honoring victims lost in last month’s floods. As Bowen sang an acoustic rendition of “A Beautiful World,” names, images and videos of flood victims flashed across the screen as the crowd remained silent, in a powerful moment that could be felt by viewers at home and in the arena alike. 
 
“I’d like to give a shout out to Miranda Lambert, she’s the whole reason all of this is going on,” McCollum shared as he took the stage to perform “Solid Gold Country” and “Handle On You.” “She texted me right away and asked, ‘What can we do?’ I said, ‘I’ll do anything I could ever possibly do to help these people.’ So, good on all of y’all for being here on a Sunday night. I’ve never been more proud to be born and raised in the great state of Texas than I am tonight.”

Between the 29 songs played throughout the night, actor Dennis Quaid; former UT Longhorns coach Mack Brown and players Emmanuel Acho, Colt McCoy and Vince Young; MLB star and Houston native Roger Clemens; television host and Dallas native Chris Harrison; and Austin-based fashion designer Kendra Scott took pause to reflect on moments of remembrance, bravery and resiliency in the Hill Country.
 
Acho, who spoke with camp counselors from Camp Mystic on a recent episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with Emmanuel Acho, brought 19-year-old counselor Ainslie Bashara on-stage in a touching moment celebrating her heroic actions which saved 16 lives.
 
Honoring first responders, Scott paid tribute to public information officer for the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department, Razor Dobbs, and the Fire Chief, Charles Holt; while Harrison acknowledged the Texas Game Wardens in attendance. 
 
Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean, who performed at the Moody Center on Saturday, Aug. 16, extended his stay, joining as a surprise guest after generously donating his stage and production crew. Taking the stage with an uptempo performance of “She’s Country,” Aldean then welcomed Lambert on-stage for a duet of “Amarillo Sky.”
 
“Thank you guys so much. Yeah, I had to stay an extra day here in Austin, I can’t think of a better cause to be here for than this,” Aldean shared. “Huge thank you to Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum for doing this tonight.”
 
“Jason was here last night, as you already know, but he left all of his stuff for us to use, and stayed an extra day to sing a song for us, so you’re an honorary Texan tonight, friend,” Lambert added.
 
Later, Brooks & Dunn’s Ronnie Dunn let music speak where words failed. “I tried to come up with something to say earlier. It was profound, it would do what it needs to do, but I don’t think there’s a song on Earth – no words, no rhyme, no reason – that can heal the pain, the suffering, the sorrow brought on by what’s happened here. So, I’m just going to share a story with you,” he concluded, before delving into his show-stopping performance of faith-based “I Believe” with The Levites Music Group, a choir comprised of members Shedrach Rowry Jonathan Davis, Kevin Overton-Hadnot, De’Juana Shaw, Kraven Rowry and Agnes Henry.
 
After Cody Johnson’s performance of his No. 1 hits “Dirt Cheap” and “Til You Can’t” – as well as a cover of “How Great Thou Art” –  the all-star roster of Texas talent including Lambert and McCollum, Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Ronnie Dunn, Dylan Gossett, Jack Ingram, Johnson, Lyle Lovett, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and Randy Rogers joined together on-stage for a triumphant final sing along of “On The Road Again.”
 
Band Together Texas was made possible with the generous support of partners including WoodNext Foundation, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, John Paul & Eloise DeJoria Family Foundation, Woodforest National Bank, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Four Seasons Hotel Austin, H-E-B, Kendra Scott, Moody Center, Poncho, Tecovas, Uber and Whataburger.

MIRANDA LAMBERT’S MUTTNATION-TRACTOR SUPPLY RELIEF FOR RESCUES FUND PROVIDES $350K+ FOR FLOOD RECOVERY

Country music icon Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund has made donations in excess of $300,000 to help more than 20 animal shelters and supporting organizations in Texas, New Mexico and New Jersey that were impacted by floods earlier this month. 

“Texas is my home state and the tragedy that took so many lives – and forever changed so many others – left me without words to express my heartbreak. All I knew was that I wanted to help,” shared Lambert. “I’m grateful that our MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund could quickly jump into action. We started the Fund so we could immediately respond to the needs of animal shelters and rescues after a natural disaster, and it’s always incredible to see it in action during times like this. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to make that possible.” 

Soon after the July 4 Texas tragedy, New Mexico and New Jersey were also hit with catastrophic floods that claimed additional lives and took a heavy toll on animal shelters. The MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund also provided support to those regions. 

“At Tractor Supply, we were heartbroken by the recent floods and the devastating aftermath for these communities,” said Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer Kimberley Gardiner at Tractor Supply Company. “These funds are more than financial support – they're a lifeline to animals and the people working tirelessly to care for them. We’re committed to helping these organizations continue their mission of care, rescue, and compassion when it’s needed most.”

In addition to supporting the affected animals through her MuttNation Foundation, Lambert is also spearheading a benefit concert alongside fellow Lone Star State native Parker McCollum to raise funds for her home state’s recovery. Set for Sunday, August 17 at Moody Center in Austin, the one-night-only event will see the pair joined by an all-star lineup of fellow Texans – including Cody Johnson, Kelly Clarkson, Lyle Lovett, Ronnie Dunn, special guest Matthew McConaughey and many more – with proceeds benefiting The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Central Texas Community Foundation. Learn more at BandTogetherTexas.com.

The MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund was founded in 2023 to raise funds for disaster relief efforts. The Fund has raised over $1.6 million and has allocated over $1.1 million to help animals, shelters and supporting organizations after floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters. A list of shelters helped through this fund is available at MuttNation.com/work. Each year, Tractors Supply stores nationwide host an in-store donation-at-checkout drive to support the Fund.

Miranda Lambert & Parker McCollum Announce “Band Together Texas,” A Benefit Concert for Central Texas Flood Aid

Texas natives Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum present Band Together Texas, a star-studded benefit concert on Sunday, August 17 at Moody Center in Austin, benefiting The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, the leading charity behind the ongoing flood relief efforts, and Central Texas Community Foundation. 
 
The July 4 flooding was one of the deadliest natural disasters in Texas history, claiming the lives of more than 130 adults and children. As of today, over 100 individuals remain missing. Entire communities were inundated, homes and livelihoods were swept away, and families are still reeling from the devastation. Band Together Texas aims to rally critical support for flood-impacted communities and their ongoing needs as they recover and rebuild.

“One of the things I love about both our artist community and our community in Texas is that we show up for one another, especially in times of such great need like folks in my home state are facing after the flood,” shares Lambert. “There is so much devastation and loss, yet what’s given me hope are the stories of those that have come to the aid of so many. That’s what we want to do with Band Together: Texans helping Texas. We hope it is a night that helps with healing while raising awareness and funds for The Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country and the Central Texas Community Foundation.”
 
Band Together Texas will feature performances from an all-star roster of Texas talent in addition to Lambert and McCollum – including Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Kelly Clarkson, Ronnie Dunn, Dylan Gossett, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lyle Lovett, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and Randy Rogers Band. 
 
In addition to the musical performances, notable Texans lending their support to the event include actors Matthew McConaughey and Dennis Quaid, former UT Longhorns coach Mack Brown and players Emmanual Acho, Colt McCoy and Vince Young, MLB star and Houston native Roger Clemens plus television host and Dallas native Chris Harrison, with more to be announced. 
 
The evening will also feature tributes to first responders and flood victims, including stories of rescue and resilience shared on stage by emergency personnel. 
 
“The flooding in the Hill Country of Texas is truly heartbreaking,” adds McCollum. “This place and these people are my community. There is a long road ahead rebuilding and even though so many families are facing the unimaginable, we’re Texas strong. Miranda is inspiring in both her music and how big her heart is, and I’m honored to be joining her for this benefit concert to support our fellow Texans and share a night of healing through music.”
 
Band Together Texas proceeds benefit The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, a Kerrville-based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports both urgent relief and long-term rebuilding following the floods, and Central Texas Community Foundation. 
 
Tickets for Band Together Texas at Moody Center will first be made available via presale registration open now through Monday, July 21 at 5 p.m. CT at bandtogethertexas.com. Presale passwords will be issued Tuesday, July 22 via registered email. Presale starts Wednesday, July 23 at 10 a.m. CT. Any remaining tickets will be available at general on sale beginning Friday, July 25 at 10 a.m. CT.

Miranda Lambert & Chris Stapleton’s Duet “A Song To Sing” Out Now

Country music giants Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton deliver their first true duet collaboration with “A Song To Sing,” reflecting the truth of giving one’s soul to the music and heart to the one at home. Written together with Jesse Frasure and Jenee Fleenor, the song available everywhere now is set to impact Country radio on Monday, July 14. Listen below.
 
The sound is indelible, rising from an era that’s shaped the last five decades of Country music. When Lambert and Stapleton emerge from the low-key shuffle, smoky Wurlitzer clouds and silken guitars, it’s obvious that “A Song To Sing” is destined to join the list of most-beloved classic Country duets. Trading lines before soaring together on the chorus, the longtime friends deliver a poignant message about finding peace and purpose in love – and in the music made along the way:

Lambert and Stapleton boast a combined 14 GRAMMY, 33 Country Music Association and 59 Academy of Country Music awards and have each influenced generations with their singular artistries and distinctive creative points of view. Produced by GRAMMY-winning Dave Cobb, “A Song To Sing” allows Lambert – who passed her ACM Entertainer of the Year title to Stapleton in 2023 – to witness the singular reality they share as they harken back to an era of music epitomized by Ronnie Milsap, Waylon Jennings and especially the classic Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers duets.
 
Of the respected visionaries, Pollstar writes, “at a time when Country is so many things, Lambert and Stapleton seem both a true north and a hinge for the future…Musically robust, they want to make actual Country music with their roots firmly planted, but with the ability to create on their own terms. It’s not fighting Music Row as much as fighting for greatness.”
