Miranda Lambert Planning Benefit Concert for Texas Flood Victims. After devastating floods hit Texas over the Fourth of July, Miranda Lambert is stepping up to support her home state. Torrential rains caused the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet within minutes, leading to widespread destruction and the loss of 132 lives, including 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic.
Amid ongoing rescue efforts, many stories of heroism have emerged. Coast Guard swimmer Scott Ruskan saved 165 people, Matthew Crowder helped a family evacuate just in time, and Jeff Ramsey warned relatives before the flood hit—sacrificing his own life in the process.
Lambert, deeply affected by the tragedy, confirmed during a July 14 SiriusXM interview that she is organizing a benefit concert. “I feel helpless,” she said, “but Texans help Texans.”
Several country artists have joined the relief efforts—George Strait and Robert Earl Keen plan benefit shows, Josh Weathers raised over $430,000 in a virtual fundraiser, and Chris and Morgane Stapleton donated $1 million. Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation is also helping displaced animals in partnership with Kerrville Pets Alive.
More details about the concert are expected soon. Fans are encouraged to help however they can—by donating, fostering, or spreading the word.
