Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert: Healing in the Heartland Benefit Concert Raises Over $6 million for Oklahoma Tornado Relief

The Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert accomplished the goal its title set forth.

 Horrific tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma killing 18 people with more still being recovered. Blake Shelton teamed up with NBC to put on a charitable concert to help the victims.

 The NBC televised concert raised more than $6 million in ticket sales and pledges according to a spokeswoman for the United Way of Central Oklahoma said the Associated Press.

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert put aside their differences to perform at the concert. Other artists that helped raise the money with performances were Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts, Usher, Darius Rucker, and Luke Bryan.

"I'm here tonight with some of my closest friends from Oklahoma and beyond," Shelton said on stage. "To join in and help with the rebuilding and recovery of this land that means so much to me."

Miranda Lambert, deluged in emotion, began to cry during her performance of, "The House that Built Me." She gathered herself, and continued to finish the song.
