“As an artist, I’m known as the ‘Girl’s guy.’ But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats.”

Tiera Kennedy is ready for a new era of her musical journey with the “I Ain’t A Cowgirl” music video. Directed by Kamren Kennedy and shot at Harlinsdale Farm, she takes over a peaceful pasture, inspired to stand up for herself and stay true to her genuine artistry.

“When I moved to Nashville, I soaked up everything everyone said. I took notes from the tastemakers in town and took their opinions as facts,” explained the singer in a statement.

“I thought that in order to succeed I had to follow this formula – stay in the box. Sometimes it’s hard to stand up for yourself and do something that’s never been done before. It’s scary. But I learned that in order to grow and in order to feel true happiness in my heart I have to stand up for myself and be comfortable coloring outside of the box. Not everyone will be okay with that and that’s okay.”
