CARRIE UNDERWOOD – SMOKE BREAK
CARRIE UNDERWOOD – SMOKE BREAK (2015)
Directed by: Randee St. Nicholas
A heartfelt country rock anthem, “Smoke Break” pays tribute to hardworking individuals seeking a momentary escape from life’s pressures. Directed by Randee St. Nicholas, the 2015 music video features Underwood traversing the Mojave Desert in a vintage Ford truck, encountering various blue-collar characters—a waitress, a horse trainer, and a businessman—each embodying the song’s theme of needing a break. The video culminates with all characters gathering at a local bar, finding solace in shared experiences. The song served as the lead single from Underwood’s fifth studio album, ‘Storyteller’, and earned the 2016 CMT Music Award for Female Video of the Year.
