Tyler Childers is breaking country music boundaries with his new video.
The musician recruited Colton Haynes and James Scully for his “In Your Love” music video that was directed by Silas House.
In the video, James and Colton find love while working as coal miners in 1950s Appalachia country.
After being found out and attacked, they escape for a more peaceful life away from the mines.
“As a gay teenager who loved country music, I could have never imagined seeing myself in a video. That visibility matters. There have always been LGBTQ people in rural places and finally we’re seeing that portrayed in a country music video,” Silas shared in a statement about the video, which is seemingly the first video to feature a gay love story on a major label.
He added, “Tyler and I both felt the attention to detail about rural life was very important, so we made sure that the house and the people looked realistic for the time period instead of the stereotypes of country people that have become so ingrained in the public consciousness.”
After the video was released, Colton called the video “easily one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard @TTChilders . Such an honor to be a part of it ❤️.”
