Andy Grammer mourns Carley McCord after final post featured song lyric

Singer Andy Grammer paid tribute to sports reporter Carley McCord, calling her a “sweet girl” after she died in a Louisiana plane crash shortly after she posted a lyric from one of his songs on social media.

The musician offered his condolences to the 30-year-old’s family, which includes father-in-law Steven Ensminger, who is a coach for Louisiana State University’s football team.

“To the McCord family, I am so sorry about your daughter,” Grammer said in an Instagram video on Sunday. “I am with you. I love you.”

McCord had shared the lyrics to Grammer’s song “Keep Your Head Up” in her final Instagram post before boarding the doomed flight from Lafayette Regional Airport.

She was heading with a group Saturday morning to the Peach Bowl in Georgia when the small aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff, killing five people and critically injuring a sixth passenger, officials said.

The news of her death made its way to the 36-year-old singer who then shared a video of himself performing “Keep Your Head Up.”

“I just opened Instagram to see that a sweet girl had passed in a plane crash,” Grammer wrote on Instagram. “She was a fan and her last post in her story was a lyric to my song Keep your head up. We are all so connected.”
