“Hold On, Texas” — the new song by Carrie Underwood and Chris Stapleton was not created to climb the charts, but to touch broken hearts. After hearing the news that the flood that swept through the Texas Hill Country had taken more than 111 lives, including nearly 30 children, Carrie choked up: “Now is the time for us to come together, to do everything for the people.”
“Hold On, Texas” — Carrie Underwood and Chris Stapleton Break Down After Flood Tragedy, Pen Song of Healing and Hope
Texas Hill Country | Evening of July 6
As the death toll from the devastating Texas Hill Country floods climbed to 111 lives lost, including nearly 30 children, two of country music’s most powerful voices chose to respond not with headlines, but with harmony.
On the evening of July 6, just hours after the heartbreaking news broke nationwide, Chris Stapleton called Carrie Underwood. According to someone close to the artists, he said only one thing:
“We don’t need a hit song. We need a healing song.”
That’s how “Hold On, Texas” was born.
Written overnight, the song isn’t meant to chart. It’s not for the radios or the awards. It’s a musical prayer — a tribute, a comfort, a call for unity. Carrie later shared through tears:
“Now is the time for us to come together and do everything we can for the people.”

No PR rollout. No marketing campaign. Just two hearts, two voices, and a deep love for the people hurting across their homeland.
There is no official video available yet, but Carrie’s team has confirmed that a raw acoustic version of the song will be released on her official Facebook page in the coming days.
