Nashville’s own Cali Tucker continues to prove she is carving out a path entirely her own with the release of her latest single and accompanying music video, Last Name. The song, already surpassing half a million streams on Spotify, now takes on new life through a cinematic visual that premiered exclusively on Taste of Country.
Rooted in the spirit of resilience, Last Name draws loosely from the fairytale of Cinderella but with a fresh perspective. Instead of glass slippers and carriages, Tucker tells the story of independence, perseverance, and the determination to rise without a built in safety net. It is an empowering take that reflects Tucker’s own journey in the music industry, balancing the weight of her family’s legacy with her distinct voice and vision.
The music video, vibrant and layered with fantasy, is more than just a visual companion. It expands the narrative while featuring a whimsical twist with her mother, country singer LaCosta Tucker, stepping into the role of a fairy godmother. The video reinforces Cali’s knack for blending personal history with imaginative storytelling. Airing this week on the American Country Network, the production showcases her signature style of marrying playful visuals with deeper heartfelt themes.
Over the past year, Tucker has built unstoppable momentum. Her performances have ranged from headlining Las Vegas stages to opening national broadcasts with a stirring rendition of the National Anthem at NASCAR’s Pennzoil 400. Earlier releases such as Country Couture and Urban Cowboy not only collected awards at international film festivals but also demonstrated her unique ability to bridge glamour with relatability. Last Name continues that trend while venturing into even more personal territory, making it one of her strongest artistic statements yet.
With undeniable star power and a growing global fanbase, Cali Tucker is proving that she is more than her heritage. She is a voice shaping the future of country music.
