Directed by: Randee St. Nicholas
An emotionally charged country-pop ballad, “Cry Pretty” delves into the struggle of concealing pain behind a composed facade. Directed by Randee St. Nicholas, the 2018 music video intertwines scenes of Underwood preparing for a performance with intimate moments of vulnerability, including a poignant shower scene symbolizing emotional release. The video premiered on May 6, 2018, during an episode of American Idol, marking Underwood’s return to the spotlight following a period of personal hardship. The song, co-written by Underwood alongside Hillary Lindsey, Liz Rose, and Lori McKenna, served as the lead single from her sixth studio album of the same name.
