In the wake of powerful tornadoes devastating central Tennessee, country stars who either live in the state or simply wanted to express support to its shaken residents took to social media to share their prayers, condolences, and, in some cases, to reveal that they and their families were OK.
A powerful storm system produced at least two tornadoes that struck central Tennessee early on Tuesday morning, including one that caused significant damage near downtown Nashville and left several people dead.

The tornado near downtown Nashville lit up the night sky with flashes of light as transformers blew and the storm reportedly stayed on the ground into Hermitage, about 10 miles east of the city.
Carrie Underwood, who calls Nashville home, was out of town when the tornadoes touched down but appeared on the “TODAY” show Tuesday to reveal that her husband and kids were unharmed thanks to a safe room they have in their home.
Dolly Parton, who also lives in Nashville, posted a video message revealing that she’s OK and telling those not as fortunate that she’s with them.

I know a lot of Nashville was just devastated with the storms, and I just wanted all of you to know that we are all with you and hope that your family is OK and your property is going to get mended soon, get your lights back on,” Parton says in the video. “But just wanted you to know that you’re being thought of and we love you and sorry that it all happened to all of us.”
The country music royalty were just two of the many country stars to share messages of grief and hope.
