Jon Pardi already has a music video under his belt in 2025. It’s a visualization of his song “Friday Night Heartbreaker” and stars a model from Los Angeles and an actor who’s been in music videos before. Let’s watch the video first then scroll down for the answers!
The Guy. Starring as the cowboy-friend is actor Carter Nelms. Find him on Instagram here–@CarterNelms. The music video was shot in Printer’s Alley (Nashville, TN) in the middle of the night. I reached out to him and he had this to say:
Me: Was it weird shooting overnight? Have you played the role of “love interest” in previous music videos or show? Anything you’re willing to share would be great!
Carter: I’d played a music video lead before (this music video). This was the first doing so as a love interest. First overnight shoot for me too. I think we were all “in gear” for it, and I didn’t really feel the fatigue until I pulled into my driveway in the morning. Something about doing that told my body, “Okay, NOW we can go to bed” and it wouldn’t let me ignore that anymore – Like when you’re not hungry until you smell food.
More about Carter’s professional career can be found on his profile here: Actors Access – Carter Nelms.
The Gal. The heartbreaker is fashion model Jessica Nazarenus. She calls Los Angeles home but online you can find her on Instagram… @JessicaNaz. More about her acting and modeling resume can be found here: JessicaNaz on LTK.
