NASHVILLE, TN - Sep.
28, 2017
Before natural
disasters struck the Caribbean, current two-time CMA nominated group Lady Antebellum traveled to San Juan, Puerto Rico for its colorful Spanish
colonial buildings and vibrant culture to provide the backdrop of the music
video for their new single "Heart Break.” Feeling the urgency to
continue raising awareness and support for those affected after Hurricane Maria
stuck the area, Lady A is premiering the new video across all video platforms today while making a donation of $200,000 from
LadyAID® to hurricane relief efforts via MusiCares® and United
for Puerto Rico. Fans can also take part in the ongoing relief efforts by
contributing at LadyAID.org.

"We
got to meet so many locals and enjoy everything that Puerto Rico has to offer.
We are just completely heart broken to see the devestation,” said Hillary
Scott. "We want to do everything we can to support this incredible place
and these incredible people. We just hope and pray for their safety and that
rebuilding happens quickly. We encourage everyone to give whatever they can to
help.”
"We
have always loved traveling to the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico was one of those
places we’ve always wanted to go and couldn’t have been a better location for
this video,” added Charles Kelley. "One of the coolest things was that all
of the dancers in the video were people off the street. They already exuded
such a vibrant energy that’s part of the culture in Puerto Rico and the
Caribbean as a whole.”
“We
save a portion of every ticket on the road to go toward LadyAID®,” noted Dave Haywood. "After spending time in San Juan,
we fell in love with the area, the culture, the people, and that country - it
was just a beautiful place. Our hearts have been completely broken watching the
devastation from all of the hurricanes. We feel personally connected to helping
support those affected."
Directed
by Shane Drake and shot earlier this year, the video for the title track to
Lady A's CMA "Album of the Year" nominated and No. One selling album HEART BREAK
(Capitol Records Nashville) follows a woman's journey through the town while
enjoying the spontaneity and freedom of independence, with an unexpected twist
at the end.
Lady
Antebellum's recent CMA “Album of the
Year" and "Vocal Group of the Year" nominations follow more than
18 million album units sold, nine No. 1 hits, ACM and CMA
"Vocal Group of the Year” trophies three years in a row and countless
