Mitchell Tenpenny & Seaforth: on the official music video for latest single, “Anything She Says (Audio)
We caught up with Mitchell Tenpenny, Mitch Thompson (Seaforth) and Tom Jordan (Seaforth) to get the story behind the recently released music video for their collaborative single, “Anything She Says.”
Commentary from Mitchell Tenpenny
The concept of the “Anything She Says” music video was, you know, I started talking to TK (McKamy) early on about what I wanted. I just wanted it to be funny, not take yourself so seriously- have those moments where you’re doing things for her you wouldn’t necessarily do, but because you love her so much, you would. And, it’s just having fun with it. Poking fun at yourself. I always love doing that.
Working with Mitch and Tom (Seaforth) is always amazing. They’re hilarious guys. They’re so talented. And we just kind of clicked from the very beginning we ever met and that’s why we have always stayed great friends. We’re still writing songs together. They’re so much fun on the road. Anything we can do together, if I see them on the books or I know I am going to see them later that day I know it’s going to be a good time because they’re just killer dudes.
My favorite wardrobe from the shoot was the black cowboy hat and the all black with the gold tassels and all that stuff. That was a lot of fun and it made me feel like the old school Opry days. I really dug that.

“Anything She Says” is obviously a lighthearted kind of fun love song. And, I think when it came to the concept we saw a few different treatments, but as soon as we saw TK’s (McKamy) idea about the kind of family photo vibes and everything I think that really captured just the lightheartedness of our personalities and of Mitchell’s personality too. And, it was kind of a no-brainer for that concept once we saw the treatment.
Filming the “Anything She Says” film clip with Mitchell was one of the funnest days I’ve had in a long time. It’s obviously such a ridiculous concept, but I think it captures the personality so well. And honestly, it was something we didn’t have to try too hard for made, which it a little easier. It wasn’t serious. So, it was honestly just a day full of laughter and stupid costumes. I want to do it again.
We obviously had some seriously outlandish outfits (laughs) for this shoot. My personal favorite was probably the Alpaca scene, the blue outfits with the glasses. I couldn’t see so I had to wear the glasses over my actual prescription glasses. I’m probably going to start wearing that on the daily. I think Tom and I have agreed that he going to wear the fishnet on stage and I’ll wear the French barrette.
