Elle King, collaborating with her longtime friend Dierks Bentley, came to Murfreesboro recently to shoot a music video for her song “Worth a Shot.” Filmed at historic Cannonsburgh Village, the video flashes back to the Wild West in the late 1800s, and King and Bentley star as husband-and-wife outlaws.

King created the concept for the music video—complete with a shot-for-shot (drinking) duel in a saloon—and teamed with directors Stephen Kinigopoulos and Alexa Stone for the shoot.

“Worth a Shot” is about a song about a relationship that is on the rocks but is “worth a shot” at saving.

Earlier this summer, King and Bentley also teamed up in hosting the CMA Fest 2022 prime-time special on ABC, filmed from Nissan Stadium in Nashville during the 49th CMA Fest.

King will continue touring with Chris Stapleton over the coming months, and both she and Stapleton will be performing at the Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin this September.

“Let me tell you, if anyone is having more fun than me this summer, I want to come join your party too,” King said, laughing. “I honestly couldn’t be more grateful to the fans and everyone playing, streaming and enjoying my music. This is what I’ve dreamed of and worked for since I was a teenager. I can’t believe this is my job and I get paid for it!”
