The Texas floods have left a trail of devastation—but for country star Scotty McCreery, the tragedy became deeply personal.

In a heartbreaking turn, Scotty revealed that both of his beloved grandmothers—women who had been the heart of his family—were swept away in the raging waters.
Two lives, two matriarchs, gone in an instant.

The news sent shockwaves through the country music community.

Within hours, George Strait, a legend with Texas roots and a heart as deep as his voice, was among the first to reach out.

“Scotty, I’m grieving with you, my friend. Your grandmothers raised a man we’re all proud of. May their memory live forever.”

Strait wasn’t alone. The outpouring of support came quickly:

• Carrie Underwood posted a photo of Scotty on stage with his grandmother backstage, writing:
  “There was magic in her eyes when she watched you sing. Heaven gained a beautiful soul.”

• Luke Bryan offered to fly to Texas to support the McCreery family in person.

• Even Reba McEntire shared her condolences: “We’ve all leaned on our grandmothers at some point. This kind of pain runs deep.”

What makes the loss even more painful is how close Scotty was to both women.

He often spoke in interviews about how they shaped his love for music, pushing him to sing in church, supporting every small-town gig before “American Idol” changed his life.
They were his first fans. His forever fans.

Now, he’s mourning the people who never missed a show—and who always had a seat in the front row of his heart.

Fans, too, have joined the chorus of support. Thousands have flooded his socials with messages, prayers, and memories. One fan wrote:

“They raised you to be strong, Scotty. Now lean on us while you heal.”

Scotty, visibly shaken but deeply grateful, posted a black-and-white photo of him holding both his grandmothers’ hands—with just four words:
“Thank you for everything.”

This tragedy reminds us that behind every song, behind every star, is a family that loved them first.
And in this moment, the country music world isn’t divided by charts or labels.
It’s united in grief, in prayer, and in honoring two women whose love helped raise a star.
