Shaboozey's Outlaw Era Rides Into the Saloon With Ciara Miller

Shaboozey’s Western reinvention just got a whole lot more dramatic. Following the massive success of A Bar Song (Tipsy), the rapper is doubling down on his outlaw concept album The Outlaw Cherie Lee&Other Western Tales with a new music video that channels pure Wild West swagger and danger.

The Cowgirl music video, directed by Logan Meis and Shaboozey, features Ciara Miller—the Summer House star—as a gunslinger who’s anything but a wallflower. She rolls into a forsaken saloon five days after the death of Sheriff Lee, her partner, and proceeds to out-drink, out-arm wrestle, and out-shoot every cowboy in the place. There’s a real narrative weight here: this isn’t just aesthetic posturing. Miller’s character is grieving, furious, and looking for an outlet in a haze of rage and vengeance.

This is the second single from The Outlaw Cherie Lee&Other Western Tales, following April’s Born To Die. The forthcoming concept album—out July 31 via EMPIRE—unfolds like a Western film complete with narration, skits, and cinematic transitions. It tells the tragic, mythic story of Cheri Lee, a woman shaped by violence and driven by loss, who falls for an outlaw and gets pulled into the very world she’s trying to destroy. It’s complicated, bloody, and genuinely cinematic.

What’s striking about Shaboozey’s pivot is that it doesn’t feel like a gimmick. A Bar Song (Tipsy) already proved he’s a crossover juggernaut—it spent more time at No. 1 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart than any song before it and dominated the Hot 100 for 19 weeks. He also made history as the first performer to reach the top 10 simultaneously on Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay charts. That kind of success could’ve led to more of the same, but instead he’s channeling that momentum into a full artistic statement. The Outlaw Cherie Lee&Other Western Tales is a bet that his audience is ready to follow him into something deeper—and the Cowgirl video suggests they might be.
