Rising country songstress Mattie Taylor is taking fans straight into the heart of her story with the release of the official music video for her tender, emotionally charged single, “Dear Cowboy.” In this exclusive premiere with All Country News, Taylor proves once again that her brand of authenticity, equal parts grit, grace, and honesty is what makes her one of country music’s most exciting new voices.
Filmed against the dusty backdrop of a real rodeo, “Dear Cowboy” brings the song’s aching vulnerability to life. The video captures the quiet tension between love and letting go, the push and pull that comes when a free-spirited cowboy crosses paths with a woman who’s not afraid to ask for the truth.
“Filming this music video was such a fun experience,” Taylor shared. “I loved getting to bring the cowboy story to life with real horses and filming inside a rodeo—it made the whole vision feel authentic. Working with Justin Mayotte from SqueeksOnTour and BCAM615 is always a blessing; he listens to my ideas and brings them to life, and it’s so natural working with people who are like family to you. Behind the scenes, Kristina Mayotte kept everything running smoothly, whether it was keeping Justin in line, playing the track, or making sure we stayed on schedule. After we wrapped up, we all went out for Mexican food and celebrated with five slices of Tres Leches cake.”
That blend of heart and humor mirrors the song itself. “Dear Cowboy” feels like an open letter, soft-spoken yet unflinchingly honest. Taylor’s voice glides over lyrics that pull at the seams of love and trust:
Dear cowboy, I don’t know your plan But if it’s to leave, let go of my hand I don’t want another broken in two heart So please just tell me what you want from the start
Then, the chorus lands like a quiet storm:
Don’t waste your time pretending to love me Then I find out it was all a lie If I’m not the one and you’re thinking ‘bout the next rodeo Dear cowboy, just let me go
It’s a modern-day Western ballad wrapped in timeless emotion, part heartbreak, part healing. The rodeo setting only deepens the metaphor: a cowboy’s world of dust, motion, and fleeting moments mirrors the uncertainty of love itself.
With her new video, Taylor solidifies her standing as one of country’s most relatable storytellers. She doesn’t just sing about heartbreak, she captures its contradictions: the beauty, the ache, and the grace it takes to let someone ride away.''
As the final shot fades and the music drifts off like a lonesome wind, one thing’s for sure, Mattie Taylor’s “Dear Cowboy” will linger long after the dust settles.
