Karen Waldrup has a great new video out for her newest song, “Keeping the Faith.” Will her passionate army of fans vote it into the top spot on Taste of Country’s weekly video countdown?
Waldrup’s new song and video offer a message of hope and perseverance through the most difficult of times.
That message was inspired by Waldrup’s own hard times, including a difficult divorce.
“‘Keeping The Faith’ is about believing that good things are ahead, even when you can’t see them yet,” says Waldrup. “Creating this music video meant so much to me because it gave me a chance to tell this story in a very personal way. The process was honestly healing, and it reminded me of how important it is to keep moving forward, even during the hardest seasons. You may not always understand why things happen, but if you keep believing and trusting the journey, better days can be waiting right around the corner.”
Waldrup’s last video for “Blue Cowboy Boots” posted a long winning streak on the countdown, including multiple weeks at No. 1.
Her new clip is up against new videos from the Malpass Brothers, Little Big Town with Kelsea Ballerini, Brian Kelley, Frankie Ballard and Drew Baldridge:
Which one has your vote?
Spencer Hatcher pulls off a major upset in the countdown this week. His new video for “Hot Weather, Cold Beer” opens at No. 1 in its first week of consideration, pushing Home Free down to No. 2.
Hatcher’s no stranger to the countdown; the Taste of Country RISERS: 2026 Artists to Watch artist’s previous video for “When She Calls Me Cowboy” enjoyed a long and very successful run in the countdown, also reaching No. 1.
Miranda Lambert‘s new video for “Sunset Marquis” bows at No. 3 this week, with videos from the late Dan Seals, Jet Jurgensmeyer and more hanging in the Top 5.
Taste of Country lets our readers decide their favorite videos in country music each week, so if you want to see your favorite artists win, you’ve got to vote and keep on voting!
Good luck!
Note: Fans can vote for one video, once every hour until the poll closes next Saturday at 12PM ET. The weekly Top 10 will be revealed immediately after the poll closes. Videos are retired after six months, when fans lose interest or when an artist releases a new video for a current single.
Voting results can change slightly after the weekly poll closes, since we tabulate the votes and remove illegitimate votes that skew the results.
