Brad Paisley’s brand-new music video features an all-star cast, but it’s unclear how many of the superstar acts are yet aware of their involvement in “Crushin’ It.”
Paisley singlehandedly created and animated the video for his current single which has climbed to No. 15 on Billboard’s country airplay chart. In it, he casts several of his other friends as a collective of “country’s mightiest heroes” called the Agents of Crush.
He began teasing the video Monday night (May 11) via Twitter.
Remember how I leaked the album last summer without anybody knowing? He he he. #crushinit

By early Tuesday morning, Paisley had posted the final cut on YouTube.
In the video, Paisley creates superhero names for Carrie Underwood (Carrie Underwoman), Blake Shelton (General B.S.), Luke Bryan (Flash Smiley), Kenny Chesney (Agua Man), Jason Aldean (Jason All-Green), Keith Urban (Captain Australia), the Zac Brown Band (Zoro Brown Bandaleros), Dierks Bentley (Derx Skydrinker), Rascal Flatts (Hell’s Rascals), Eric Church (Churchmouse) and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill (the Timcredibles).
There are also animated cameo appearances by Miranda Lambert, George Strait and TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. Paisley plays the Steel Moonshiner, but he cast Florida Georgia Line as Beavis & Butt-head characters wearing T-shirts separately touting “Cash” and “Bieber.”
Ok, I drew this. Certainly the only video of its kind. Hope you get a kick out of it. Betcha can't watch just once. http://t.co/unLiOezqQ0
