Lady Antebellum also had a show scheduled in Houston over the weekend, but they were forced to cancel due to the dangerous weather conditions. The country crooners took to Twitter to offer their love and support on Sunday, writing, “We are so sad to have had to cancel our show in Houston tonight. Last night, we played a show up the street in Dallas and all of our merch proceeds will [go] towards hurricane relief funds.” We tip our hats to you, Lady A.

Sandra Bullock, aka the woman with the heart of gold, pledged $1 million today to help Houston families impacted by the catastrophic flooding get back on their feet. Bullock, who owns a home in Austin, said, “I'm just grateful I can do it. We have to take care of one another.” Bless your heart, Gracie Lou Freebush.

Coldplay

Coldplay originally had a concert scheduled in Houston last week but it was cancelled due to Harvey's wrath. The band showed their love for the city by writing and performing a new song, “Houston,” at their Miami, Florida, concert last night. Lead singer Chris Martin told the crowd, “We're going to sing it, Miami, and for everybody here, and then we're going to send it [to Houston] for everyone that missed that show.”
