Alana Springsteen has scrapped two planned performances for this weekend. A bus fire destroyed her gear and personal belongings, making it impossible to play.
The country newcomer shared the news on Thursday morning (Oct. 24). She had a trio of Texas dates planned for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, including two with Tyler Hubbard.
“I’m beyond grateful to God that everyone on our team and crew is safe and unharmed,” Springsteen says.

“Experienced our first and hopefully only ever bus fire this morning,” Springsteen says. “Sending big love to the firefighters, police and EMTs that showed up, took care of us and made sure everyone was OK.”
“Our gear and belongings didn’t make it though, so we’re unfortunately not going to be able to play the shows this weekend. We’ll keep y’all updated.”

After this weekend, Springsteen will stay busy with 11 dates on her official tour calendar through 2024, including shows next weekend in Grand Rapids, Mich., and Toronto.
“Ghost In My Guitar” with Chris Stapleton is another popular song from the 23-year-old Virginia Beach, Va., native. Last fall she embarked on her first headlining tour — since debuting with “Slow Down” in 2019, she’s enjoyed a steady rise to get to there and shown appreciation for fans along the way.
The bus fire comes two years after she made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry and announced she’d signed a record deal with Columbia Records NY and Sony Music Nashville.
Country Star Homes Devastated By Fire
At least two artists on this list of country star home fires were better for it, professionally. One legend used the tragedy to inspire greatness, while a second newcomer actually wrote his first No. 1 hit about the blaze.
Over a dozen country stars have watched their homes go up in flames. Here are their stories.

Top 20 Songs of 2024, Ranked (So Far)
New country artists rule this Top Country Songs of 2024 list, but that doesn’t mean traditional country isn’t represented early and often.
Airplay charts, sales data and streaming numbers helped make this list of country music’s Top 20 Songs of 2024, but staff and Taste of Country reader opinion were most influential.
Songs included on previous Top Country Songs lists were not eligible. A song may have been released in 2023, but it had to have the majority of recorded airplay or impact this year to count.
