An unexpected thing happened today: Carrie Underwood's latest music video for her new single, "Cowboy Casanova," leaked. The even more perplexing thing is that the source of the leak is none other than CMT.com. Watch Carrie's smokin' new performance (and never before seen choreography) below before Arista Nashville flexes its removal power:
So why is this video so good? Many fans are attributing it to the fact that Roman White is not the director. White, who has directed every single video of Carrie's prior to this one, was often criticized as being uninspiring and boring with the way Carrie was used in her videos.
This time around, Carrie chose to team up with Director Theresa Wingert. Although White has got a lot of flack over the years, he really is not a bad director. Having said that, Wingert has demonstrated that she can make a seemingly boring setting appear exciting with a little help from Carrie's involvement in the process.
CMT was supposed to premiere the video on the weekend of Oct. 2, billed as the network's "Big New Music Weekend." There are really only two explanations for what happened here: 1) Someone at CMT is going to be fired over this, or 2) the leak was intentional in an effort to gain even more buzz for the single, which has a chance to debut extremely high up on Billboard' Hot 100 chart come Wednesday. My gut is telling me the latter is more plausible.
