Tucker Wetmore tries his hand at acting as he steps into the role of a small-town sheriff on the hunt for his brown-haired mystery woman in the brand-new music video for his fan-favorite track “Brunette.”

Directed by Wetmore and Chase Foster, the video drops the rising country star straight into a Wild West-style chase, complete with wanted posters, dusty landscapes and a whole lot of determination to track down the female outlaw.

Filmed at the historic Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the cinematic clip features a star-studded cast, with Wetmore appearing as “Sheriff Wetmore” alongside Bachelor Nation favorites Hannah Godwin as “The Brunette” and Joey Graziadei as “The Bartender.” Both fully commit to their Western makeovers, especially Hannah, who swapped her signature blonde hair for a dramatic brunette look.

The story opens with Wetmore plastering fresh “WANTED: Alive – A Brunette” posters around town before stepping into the local saloon to remind the bartender he’s not giving up the hunt. Moments later, his search comes to an end the second he spots a stunning brown-haired woman across the room. After a dance, she tells him, “It took you long enough. I ain’t no ghost.”

Wetmore cleverly responds, “No ma’am. Ghosts don’t dance this close to the heartbeat.”

The bartender chimes in to point out that the sheriff finally found what he’s been looking for, leading to the final scene that showcases Wetmore and his Brunette riding off into the cloudy sky while his wanted poster comes into focuses, revealing it is now stamped with one bold word: “FOUND.

Both the video and the song deliver a clever take on a breakup anthem that finds Wetmore trying to outrun his previous type. After getting burned one too many times by blondes, he swears off everything that reminds him of his ex and sets his sights on something new. With his warm, swoon worthy vocals leading the charge, Wetmore effortlessly blends humor and heartbreak to make a fun, relatable country song.

He sings, “I need a brown eyed 5’ 5” north side of the Mason Dixon line/ Kind ain’t climbed up in a four-wheel drive that’s lifted/ Never been fishing never been mudding/ Gotta be gotta be one that doesn’t/ Remind me of you there beside me I need to find me a brunette.”

Tucker Wetmore caught up with Country Now backstage at the CMA Awards, just as his new music video was dropping. He shared that taking on an acting role like this has been a longtime goal and with it now on his resume, he’s looking forward to exploring more acting opportunities and bringing that same energy into future music videos.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the “Brunette” video, he shared, “My whole thought was I wanted to be an old Western type deal, and I wanted some familiar faces in there. I wanted everybody in the video to be blonde and besides me and the main woman actor, which is Hannah G, but there’s a couple other things that are just quirky and fun and kind lighthearted.”
