These Young Singers Turn the Tables on Country Music Stereotypes

Rising country music duo Maddie & Tae recently released their first single, "Girl in a Country Song," and last week, an accompanying video for the track was revealed on YouTube. The ladies have been gaining lots of attention for their catchy song — a takedown of the typical bikini-wearing, denim-cutoff-clad girls in country music videos — and do their best to turn the tables for the video. In addition to singing lyrics like "I hear you over there on your tailgate whistling/Saying 'Hey girl' but you know I ain't listening," the 18-year-olds flip the script by putting male onlookers in tight tops and short shorts (our personal favorite is the strawberry-eating Jonah Hill lookalike prancing around in teeny-tiny overalls). If you're in the mood for a country tune with a slight feminist slant, check out the video above.
