Music MInute - Tucker Wetmore: Proving Me Right

 

Country's hottest rising star Tucker Wetmore closes out his blockbuster year with the release of new track, “Proving Me Right,” out now – the first new music since his record-breaking debut album What Not To.    Built on a mellow groove and laid-back confidence, the track – written by Wetmore, Jessie Jo Dillon, Luke Laird and Chris Tompkins – finds Wetmore with clear-eyed resolve as he witnesses an ex repeating patterns, underscoring the sharp, reflective writing that continues to set him apart.   LISTEN: “PROVING ME RIGHT”   The release arrives as Wetmore's momentum reaches new heights. His Country radio single “3,2,1” has officially cracked the Top 5 on the Country airplay charts, putting him on pace for his second No. 1 this year. The single is off of his critically acclaimed debut album What Not To (Back Blocks/MCA/Mercury Records), which made history as the biggest country album debut from a new artist in 2025.   Adding to his banner year, Wetmore was just tapped as a performer for “Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026,” which airs live on Wednesday, Dec. 31 on ABC, beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST and next day on Hulu.   Last month, Wetmore attended the CMA Awards as a first-time nominee and performer. He also released the star-studded music video for his viral hit, “Brunette,” out now. Filmed at the historic Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico and directed by Wetmore and Chase Foster, the cinematic video casts Wetmore as a small-town sheriff on the hunt for a brunette outlaw. Featuring Bachelor Nation standouts Hannah Godwin and Joey Graziadei, the Wild West storyline centers on a “WANTED: Alive – A Brunette” poster that sets the chase in motion – ending with Wetmore finally finding the woman he's been searching for.    WATCH: “BRUNETTE” MUSIC VIDEO   Wetmore recently announced his headlining The Brunette World Tour, launching this February with dates across the U.S., UK and EU.

ABOUT TUCKER WETMORE: With a warm vocal cut from the woods of the Pacific Northwest and an easy instinct for modern grooves, Tucker Wetmore has emerged as one of country's most dynamic new stars. An ACM and CMA Awards-nominated singer-songwriter and headline performer who has already surpassed 1 billion career streams, the chart-topper has taken just a few years to leave a lasting mark. Raised in Kalama, Washington, the piano-playing student of country, rock, reggae and more wrote his first song after a college football injury, reaching Nashville in 2020. Kicking off his career with back-to-back Platinum “Wine Into Whiskey” and 2x Platinum debut No. 1 “Wind Up Missin' You,” Wetmore landed on Billboard's all genre Hot 100 in 2024 with both tracks, showcasing a serene, sawtoothed-country buzz. After two features on the Twisters soundtrack, his first Grand Ole Opry appearance and a sold-out headline tour debut, Wetmore released his debut album What Not To to wide acclaim in 2025, wrapping hard-won life lessons in laid-back singalongs, and soul-scouring balladry, and the album made history as the biggest country album debut from a new artist in 2025. After notching his first No. 1 at Country radio earlier this year, his follow-up single “3,2,1” continues its climb in the Top 5. Already a veteran of major tours alongside Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis and more, Wetmore spent this summer on the road with superstar Thomas Rhett. He'll return to the highway for festival and headline dates across the U.S this fall before launching The Brunette World Tour in 2026 with dates across the U.S., UK and EU as he remains a standout “one to watch” by Billboard, MusicRow, VEVO, Spotify and the Opry.
