Who’s the Couple in Jon Pardi “Friday Night Heartbreaker” Music Video

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.

What do you think about the music video? Where does it rank on the list of other Jon Pardi music videos like Your Heart or Mine, Last Night Lonely, Tequila Little Time, and Heartache on the Dance Floor?

10 Best Woke Pick-Up Lines – Updated 2025

Any adult who’s single can confirm it’s not easy to get a date these days, unless you’re exceptionally hot and then you can be as weird as you want and it’s not creepy at all. But for the rest of us, we need a little help. In a culture often divided by political views, I have put together a guide to getting dates in the form of MAGA pick-up lines and now, the second installment of woke pick-up lines (check out the first list here). Refer to this list if you’re in a jam and need something to help you lock down that first date!

10. When you say no human is illegal, my heart skips a beat.

9. (Man to woman) There are 3 things I hate. Donald Trump. Walls. Paying for dates. Dinner tonight?

8. Your protest sign is brilliant. Wanna get together and design more? I’ll bring the markers.

7. Want to dismantle the patriarchy Friday night at Chili’s? We can split the bill 😍.

6. (Man to woman) Just like abortion, meeting me for a date is your choice.

5. I’d love to see you outside of this “Free Palestine” rally. I want to know more about your stance on the American military complex.

4. (Man to woman) You remind me a lot of AOC. That makes you A-OK in my book.

3. Everything about you is hot: your pro-nouns, pro-choice, pro-gressive, and your pro-longed silence when a conservative asks you why you voted for Harris.

2. You have beautiful hands. Want to glue them to a road in protest?

1. What’s my spirit animal? A hog. David Hogg.

Let me know if any of these work…

6. You put the rad in trad.

5. In honor of Republicans abolishing slavery, let’s abolish our lives as single people.

4. It’s common sense. Border security, separate bathrooms, no tax on tips, and you and me together.

2. What’s that? Oh, no I’m not pro-hamas. I’m pro-hummus. Join me for dinner?

    The Pro Women Sports Commercial “Real Girls Rock” Took Balls To Make

    It’s still pretty shocking that in a culture claiming to lift women up in the name of equality, there are people out there who are fine with biological men nosing their way into women-only leagues. In college we called that a coed league. That’s when teams in whatever sport it may be– soccer, softball, flag football, etc– had guys and girls together on teams. It was fine and it was really fun. But what’s happening now in sports is trans-women (biological men) trying to join the league of their new gender. To them it isn’t coed, it’s still all-female and that’s the controversy headlining a lot of news sites these days. Pushing back against what liberals consider fair is a brand called XX-XY Athletics. Their aim is to aid in protecting real women in sports. Their latest commercial is quite powerful, one you might imagine finishing with a logo from Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, if any of them had the balls uteruses to take such a stance. Check out the ad called “Real Girls Rock” then scroll down for more thoughts…

    More details about the ad and the women appearing in it can be found here. Speaking of a person born as a woman, J.K. Rowling chimed in about the weight of the commercial. World-renowned author aside, she’s become a well-known advocate for women, often sharing her thoughts with little to no regard for the hate she’ll receive in return. Here’s what she posted about the ad…

    In a later tweet she said this, and it’s such a profound and clear question…

    In years to come, a great question to ask self-proclaimed liberal men will be, ‘which side were you on – women’s rights, or men’s demands?’

    The mission of XX-XY Athletics is on their website but here it is in a nutshell:

    Women deserve the opportunities that sports and single sex spaces provide.
    
Sex matters. It is the single biggest determinant of athletic performance. It is unfair and dangerous to allow males (XY) to compete in girls and women’s (XX) sports.
    
For women to compete safely and fairly, women’s sports need to remain female.
    
We’ll be here defending truth. And women and girls. Until that happens.

    If you’d like to support this brand (and all the women and girls you know) check out their products and gear on their website XX-XYAthletics.com. At the very least, make an attempt to avoid buying other brands that don’t seem to care much about the integrity of sports, or the achievements women have made in decades prior. Yes, I’m talking about Nike, a brand that even had a dude named Dylan Mulvaney model some of their women’s gear.

    The Volunteer State of Mind – Tallahassee Marathon 2025

    I tried to make a little play on words with “The Volunteer State” even though this post has absolutely nothing to do with Tennessee… except that I lived there for 16 years before moving back to The Snowy Sunshine State– Florida. And I was a volunteer yesterday during the Tallahassee half and full marathon. I forgot about my dash cam but it just so happened to be pointed towards the intersection I was patrolling/dominating/being the boss of/ however you want to say that to make me sound like a really tough (yet tender?) guy. It was such a great experience helping the runners pass this intersection safely, cheering them on, adding a little music for a boost of energy… and of course being inspired by the athletes completing a race that isn’t easy! If anyone who participated in the race yesterday, great job, you did and you ought to be so proud! Check out the dash cam below…
