Country singer Ashley Cook talked about her kiss with comedian Matt Rife in her new music video for the song «Baby Blues». In an interview with Us Weekly, Cook noted that Rife was the first person who came to her mind for the role and added that they became «very close» after she performed a song for him on stage at the CMA Fest in 2026.
In the music video, Rife plays a poolside waiter who catches Cook’s attention, creating an atmosphere of flirting and tension before they kiss. Cook admitted that it was difficult to maintain a serious expression during the shoot, as the comedian often joked.
Although their «fake romance» ended with the conclusion of filming, Cook mentioned that her new album reflects her personal experiences and relationships. She shared that many of the songs were written about a person she was dating and collaborating with during the music creation process.
Cook also revealed that while writing music helped her express her emotions, it did not speed up her healing process after the breakup. She noted that their musical connection complicated the situation, as they continued to work together even after their romantic relationship ended.
In conclusion, Cook spoke about the support she receives from artists like Kelsea Ballerini and Carly Pearce, who help her feel confident in the industry. She also expressed admiration for Dolly Parton, noting that her kindness and respect for others inspire her.
