Miranda Lambert<\/a> is stepping up for her home state.<\/p>\n The Texas native has announced plans for a benefit concert to support victims of the devastating floods<\/a> that have swept through parts of the Lone Star State in recent weeks.<\/p>\n As of Sunday (July 13), the death toll had risen to 132, according to USA Today<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Lambert revealed the news during a recent call-in to Highway Mornings<\/em><\/a> on SiriusXM, where she got emotional about the impact the disaster has had on her fellow Texans.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like I\u2019m on the verge of tears constantly,\u201d she admitted to host Cody Alan. \u201cI feel\u2026 helpless like everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut I know more than anything that Texans help Texans,\u201d the “Hell on Heels” singer added. \u201cI\u2019m working on more things to come<\/a>. Hopefully next week [I\u2019ll] announce some things I\u2019m trying to do to help.\u201d<\/p>\n When Alan asked directly whether she was planning a benefit concert, Lambert confirmed: \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re working on putting some stuff together,\u201d she said. \u201cI can\u2019t talk about it yet because it\u2019s literally just happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Even before the announcement, Lambert\u2019s MuttNation Foundation<\/a> jumped into action.<\/p>\n The nonprofit she co-founded with her mother, Bev, in 2009, quickly partnered with Kerrville Pets Alive to assess the needs of animals affected by the flooding and provide immediate support.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>George Strait Steps Up to Raise Money for Texas Flood Relief<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Lambert isn\u2019t the only country superstar pitching in. Chris Stapleton<\/a> recently donated a staggering $1 million through his Outlaw State of Kind fund to assist with flood relief efforts<\/a>, with part of that donation going directly to MuttNation.<\/p>\n The timing is especially meaningful: Lambert and Stapleton just released a duet<\/a> together, the lovestruck, disco-ready “A Song to Sing.”<\/p>\n Their collaboration adds even more heart to their shared mission to support both families and animals in need across Texas.<\/p>\n More details on Lambert\u2019s benefit concert are expected soon.<\/p>\n Texas is a big state.
