Leann Rimes Helps Nashville Rise from the Ashes of Flood

Leann Rimes Helps Nashville Rise from the Ashes of Flood

A sold-out crowd flooded Nashville's Bridgestone Arena for "Nashville Rising." Country music's biggest stars sang from their hearts and souls Tuesday night to raise money for their beloved Music City. Recently swimming under five feet of water due to a flood, Leann Rimes gave ET a glimpse backstage at the damage the venue endured.

She said sincerely, "To see places that are important to us where we performed, where we've all made great memories, to see those places almost torn in half, it feels weird. There's so much great energy, the people outside, you would have never have known that anything's happened here....Everyone's full of hope."

Country's power-couple of Faith Hill and Tim McGraw were baffled how they could contribute to such a dire situation. They reached out to their A-list rolodex and assembled a stellar line-up of the best of the best entertainers. Taylor Swift said, "Everybody will jump up and help Nashville, but certainly everybody wants to jump up and be there with Tim and Faith."
