Scotty McCreery Shares His Southern Pride in ‘Southern Belle’ Music Video

Get ready for some Southern loving: Scotty McCreery has released his music video for "Southern Belle."

A title like "Southern Belle" is just begging for a video full of Southern girls -- and that's exactly what McCreery delivered. The clip's first frame is a backlit cheerleader, and within the next few seconds, more cheerleaders appear. Soon, McCreery is joined by a dance team, multiple cheer squads and even a marching band.

As the video continues, so do the cheer stunts and fast-paced action on the music video's simple set. The dark, open space of the video allows for all of the focus to be on the many smiling faces and, of course, McCreery, as he sings about those special girls known as Southern bells.

Sean McConnell and Jason Saenz wrote "Southern Belle," which serves as McCreery's lead single from his upcoming record, which is due out in 2016. The American Idol winner spent his summer on the road with Rascal Flatts, on the country trio's 2015 Riot Tour. All of McCreery's upcoming tour dates can be viewed on his website.
