How Tucker Wetmore Got Bachelor Nation Stars for Brunette Music Video

Tucker Wetmore’s newest music video stars two Bachelor Nation icons.

The country singer, 26, exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the 59th annual CMA Awards on November 19 how he tapped Hannah Godwin and Joey Graziadei to appear in the music video for his viral song “Brunette.”

“Hannah G. and Joey are great friends of mine,” Wetmore said. “I called them up. I was like, ‘Hey, I got this huge idea for this music video for “Brunette.” And I was like, ‘[The] only contingency, I need you guys to wear wigs.’ And they’re like, ‘Absolutely. I am 100 percent down.’ Joey was probably the most excited I’ve ever seen Joey. It turned out great, and they absolutely crushed it. I’m thankful that they said yes to it.”

The “Brunette” music video, which came out on November 17, is Western-themed and stars Godwin, 30, as the love interest and outlaw whom the sheriff (Wetmore) is trying to catch.

Graziadei, also 30, is a bartender in a saloon. Wetmore said he is close friends with both Graziadei and his fiancée and fellow Bachelor Nation star, Kelsey Anderson. Graziadei originally appeared on season 20 of The Bachelorette with Charity Lawson. He was the runner-up, with Lawson, 29, choosing Dotun Olubeko instead. Graziadei became the Bachelor in the franchise’s 28th season. Graziadei proposed to Anderson, 27, at the end of the season, which aired in March 2024.

Godwin, for her part, appeared on Colton Underwood’s season 23 of The Bachelor in 2019. Wetmore said he’s met Godwin a “couple of times before” and felt she would be a great addition to the music video.

“They’re just great people, and I wanted some cameos, but I wanted it to be authentic,” Wetmore told Us. “We know each other, and we’re all just good friends, for sure.”

The Washington native was nominated for New Artist of the Year at the awards ceremony but lost to fellow Washingtonian Zach Top. Prior to the show starting, Wetmore told Us of his nomination, “It’s absolutely amazing. It doesn’t feel real.”

Wetmore has had a breakout year with the release of his debut album, What Not To, in April. He told Us that “everything” he has done this year has been a surprise and taught him something about himself.

“I feel like every day I wake up to a new blessing,” Wetmore said. “I’m more thankful for my team and my family and my friends and my support system. I can’t do any of it without any of them. My mom’s here tonight. She looks amazing. Yeah, so sweet. I’m thankful.”

Wetmore also shared that he’s in a good headspace currently while working on new music.

“Headspace is good. I’m actually just now getting back into the creative process,” Wetmore told Us. “We’ve recorded like five songs already for the next album, and it’s really cool. It’s different. It’s kind of retro a little bit, but it’s got that … that Tuck flare on it, I guess I’d say. But I’m excited.”
