Entertainment Music Music Video country Country singer Chris Housman wrangles a daddy in defiantly gay new music video
Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.But now, as Housman readies to launch his debut album on May 31—also titled Blueneck—he’s doing so with the support of CMT, the mainstream television network devoted to country music. And we reckon that’s a pretty major deal!A few weeks after Housman made his red carpet debut at the 2024 CMT Awards—looking like a vision in blue, we might add—the network is hosting the premiere of the music video for his newest single, “Guilty As Sin,” a song and visuals which are both unabashedly, undeniably gay.Country has long been seen as one of music’s most traditional genres, but these queer artists have been shaking things up.(Interestingly, there’s a track titled “Guilty As Sin?” on Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated new album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, so perhaps there was some strategy involved in getting Housman’s single out there beforehand.)Better still: CMT’s not hiding it either.
