NOMINATED FOR FOUR AWARDS AT 68TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS, THREE AWARDS AT NEXT WEEK’S CMA AWARDS
The official music video for Chris Stapleton’s Grammy and CMA Award-winning song “White Horse” is out now. Watch it here. Produced by Strange Arcade and directed by Running Bear Films, the cinematic short was filmed in Marfa, Texas and stars acclaimed actor Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men, True Grit) alongside Mae McKagan and Tommy Martinez. The video also features appearances by Stapleton and his wife and collaborator, Morgane. Exclusive “White Horse” merchandise is available here.
Running Bear’s Stephen Kinigopoulos and Alexa King Stone shared, “Listening to ‘White Horse’ over and over again, we visualized a couple on the run and wanted to add some complexity with the parental sheriff relationship between Mae and Josh’s characters. What was just going to be an action-packed love story also became a story about letting go and trust.”
The new video caps another monumental year for Stapleton, who is nominated for four awards at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards—Best Country Song (“A Song To Sing” with Miranda Lambert), Best Country Solo Performance (“Bad As I Used To Be”) and two nods for Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“A Song To Sing” with Lambert and “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” with George Strait). He’s also nominated for three CMA Awards: Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Music Video of the Year (“Think I’m In Love With You”).
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Stapleton’s breakout performance with Justin Timberlake at the 2015 CMA Awards and the release of his landmark debut album Traveller. Recorded at Nashville’s RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb, Traveller won Best Country Album at the 58th Grammys, Album of the Year at both the CMAs and ACMs, and became the best-selling country album of the 2010s. The album has since spent over 500 weeks on the Billboard 200, sold more than 11 million copies, and is certified 7x Platinum by the RIAA.
An 11-time Grammy, 19-time CMA, and 21-time ACM Award-winner, Stapleton has released four additional albums, including 2023’s Higher (Mercury Records), produced by Dave Cobb, Morgane Stapleton, and Stapleton himself. The record earned praise from Rolling Stone, GQ, and NPR Music, with critics calling it “dazzling,” “classic,” and “timeless.”
Since Higher, Stapleton has released several songs including “Heart Letting Go” from Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, “A Song To Sing” with Miranda Lambert, and “Bad As I Used To Be” from F1 the Album. Over the past decade, he has performed the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVII, appeared three times on Saturday Night Live, and collaborated with a wide range of artists including Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, P!nk, Sheryl Crow, Post Malone, and George Strait.
Known for his soulful, electric live shows, Stapleton will extend his All-American Road Show into 2026, including several sold-out “An Evening with Chris Stapleton” performances. In addition to music, he and Morgane founded the Outlaw State of Kind charitable fund and launched Traveller Whiskey in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery—a collaboration that was recently named the first official whiskey of Major League Baseball.
