You may know Tayler Holder as an upcoming country music artist who blew up on social media. He's recently been on tour with Cameron Whitcomb and has performed at fairs and festivals throughout the US.

However, Holder is making headlines for a totally different reason. Earlier this week, the rising star woke up to find his backyard barn ablaze. Rather than waiting for firefighters to get on scene, Holder rushed into the barn to save his animals.
Holder shared the ordeal on TikTok. It began with him trying to kick down the gate into the barn. Once it became clear he wasn't having any success, he went around back to jump the fence. From there, Holder, his girlfriend, Zoey Aune, and his friend, Zachary Aubuchon, formed a chain, with Holder passing each animal over the wall to safety.
Once all the animals were safe, the trio set about extinguishing the fire with buckets of water. Impressively, they kept the blaze at bay until the fire department arrived to extinguish the flames.
In a post on Instagram, Aubuchon shared his thoughts on the fire, while also sharing video of the entire ordeal.
"Yesterday was nothing short of a miracle, but God is SO SO good!! This was one of the scariest things I've ever walked out of my house too," Aubuchon wrote. "I thought we lost all of them, but luckily, we caught it right as it happened and had so many amazing people around us to help. All of the animals are okay and safe, and a HUGE thank you to Pleasant View Fire Department for being here within minutes."
Tayler Holder Is on His Way To Becoming a Star
Holder hit the mainstream when his song "Dyin' Flame," which featured T-Pain, became a hit. The track, which is a hybrid between country and pop, has received millions of hits across platforms, including 4.4 million on Spotify alone.
"Dyin' Flame" is undoubtedly Holder's most successful track to date. However, "This Aint You Leaving" and "Nothin' But Neon" are also successful releases for the young artist. If he can continue building awareness for his music and releasing popular tracks, he will be well on his way to stardom.
