Conversations With Missy: Tayler Holder CMA Fest 2024

Tayler Holder is enjoying a breakout year, solidifying his place as one of country music’s most vibrant new talents. With his latest single, “This Ain’t You Leaving,” released today, May 30, 2025, Holder is riding a surge of success. This follows his standout performances as a special guest on Chase Matthew’s UK leg of the 2025 European Tour and a dynamic 18-city run on Tin Roof’s “Hits the Roof!” tour. Adding to his milestones, Holder is wrapping up his performances on Post Malone’s Travelin’ Tailgate tour, a lively, free parking lot party series tied to select dates of Malone’s Big Ass Stadium Tour. After receiving the call to open for Malone, Holder took to Instagram and released the following statement along with an emotional and heartwarming video.

"I’m absolutely lost at words right now… getting this phone call has brought so many emotions man. Post Malone was one of the very few people that truly inspired me to start my music career, and all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you… This truly could’ve never been possible without you guys ?? Thank you to my best friend John Galbraith that has built this from the ground up with me, and handles all the heavy weight that has to do with my career and has believed in me when no one saw any worth in me. Thank you momma for never giving up on me chasing my dreams... I promise I’m going to put on the BEST DAMN SHOW OF MY LIFE!

Love you guys so much,
Tayler"

The “Hits the Roof!” tour saw Holder captivate audiences in sold-out venues across Detroit, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Lexington, and Louisville, performing in sub-32-degree temperatures with unwavering energy. His connection with fans remains a hallmark of his career. In a heartwarming moment, Holder spotted a TikTok of a young fan singing his songs and partnered with Gibson to gift her a guitar. During his St. Louis show, he invited her on stage to perform “Sittin’ On Empty” together, a moment that left the crowd buzzing.

With over 30 million followers across social media and the distinction of being the most-followed country artist on TikTok, Holder has masterfully transitioned from influencer to recording artist. His catalog boasts millions of streams, with hits like “Dyin’ Flame” (9M+ streams), “Nothin’ But Neon” (5.8M streams), “Someone You Knew” (3.5M streams), and the poignant duet “Climb My Way to Heaven” with Cory Asbury (1.6M streams). Holder’s accolades include Male Artist of the Year and Artist of the Year (2023) from Up N Country, and his 500K monthly Spotify listeners underscore his growing influence.

Born in Alvarado, Texas, a small town near Dallas, Holder’s flair for performance emerged early. At three, he was racing motocross, a passion he still indulges. Homeschooled through high school, he moved to California to pursue entertainment, gaining traction on Instagram and Musical.ly with viral lip-sync videos and lifestyle content. His TikTok rise skyrocketed his following, but it’s his authenticity and talent that have earned him a warm embrace from Nashville’s music community. "I am very thankful that I have been welcomed by the Nashville Community and Industry alike. I am humbled every day for the continued support, and I want to keep on bringing the best I have for the people that have championed me." 

Currently immersed in songwriting and A&R sessions, Holder has been honing his craft while performing across the U.S. and UK and we are looking forward to his upcoming performance at Nashville's biggest Country Music Festival, CMA Fest on June 7, 2025.  Now with the release of “This Ain’t You Leaving,” Holder is poised to further solidify his place in country music. Fans can follow his journey via Holder's website and social media accounts, which will offer exclusive updates on his performances and more.
