Country music star Tayler Holder shares video of him rushing into burning barn to save his animals

Tayler Holder wasn’t about to let his family’s goats and pigs die in a barn fire. 

The 28-year-old up-and-coming country music singer and TikTok influencer took to social media to share a video of him running into a burning barn to help save the farm animals that were stuck inside. 

Tayler Holder’s girlfriend, Zoey Aune, and friend, Zachary Aubuchon, also rushed in to help. 

“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 to,” Holder wrote in the caption.

He went on to confirm that all the animals were “okay and safe.” 

“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,” he wrote — adding a “HUGE thank you” to the first responders who helped.

It’s unclear how the fire started, but video footage showed a blazing fire in the corner of the barn. 

Several goats were trapped in their pen since the door was blocked by the fire. Once Holder arrived, he attempted to kick a hole in the steel mesh wall, but was unable to free the goats. 

He eventually jumped the wall and lifted the three goats over the wall — handing them to his girlfriend. 

After freeing a few pigs from a separate pen, Holder and Aubuchon used water to contain the fire until the Pleasant View Fire Department showed up and finished the job. 

The video, published on Dec. 16, has been viewed more than four million times on TikTok. 

Tayler Holder’s cameraman catches heat for not helping

Many of Holder’s fans praised Aune and Aubuchon for their dedication to saving the animals and barn. 

But other fans were more focused on the fact that the person behind the camera didn’t help. 

• “Can’t believe that guy filming was basically telling them to quit trying.”
• “I would rethink being friends with the guy filming. Didn't help and thought you had 0 chance of saving the barn.”
• “I will never understand how someone's livelihood can literally be burning down in front of them yet someone has thier phone out recording the whole thing like its some kind of movie.”
• “i get the dude is probably hired to specifically film everything for Tayler’s snapchat, but there was a moment there where ANY decent human would have dropped the phone to help.”

What’s most important is that everyone (including the animals) were safe. 

Holder, who has nearly 24 million followers on TikTok and Instagram, grew up in Texas before moving to California where his career as a content creator took off, per a 2023 interview with Authority Magazine.

The “Dyin’ Flame” singer has since moved to Nashville to focus more on his music career. 

His pigs and goats make regular appearances in videos, including a Dec. 2 video where he’s singing “Bless the Broken Road” while his pig lingers on the coffee table.
