Julien Baker And Torres Pay Homage To Queer Country In ‘Sugar in the Tank’ Music Video

January 16, 2025

The yeehaw era we’ve all been waiting for.

Hold your horses! Julien Baker and Torres have beautifully delivered us queer joy that’ll make you want to grab a partner and do the hoedown in this new music video. 

The “Sugar in the Tank” music video dropped Monday, contributing to the excitement and suspense surrounding their upcoming country album. The song, released in December, served as their first collaborative single for the album, and they’ve left us wanting more.

The video was directed by Caity Arthur and filmed at the Freehand New York Hotel in collaboration with Stud Country, NYC’s queer country dance community. Baker and Torres are seen line-dancing their hearts out in rhinestone cowboy attire, alongside members of the dance group. 

“We were really honored that the Stud Country folks were willing to have fun with us and prepare this line dance for the song!” the two artists shared on Instagram. “Everyone involved is so talented and they were patient and sweet with us while we learned the moves. For us it’s particularly special to find someplace and some people to do cowboy shit with here in NYC.”

Queer joy was put on center stage, along with some pretty impressive dance moves. Disco balls shined on scenes of queer people unabashedly holding hands and showing affection while line dancing, as Baker and Torres sing, “Come on baby, put a little Sugar in the Tank / And I’ll love you all the way.”

“I was raised on country music which caused me to loathe it. Now I feel like I can like it again. Thanks Julien and Torres,” one fan shared in the comments. 

“Yee and I cannot stress this enough haw,” added another. We agree. 

The song is worth the listen, and this music video celebrating the beauty of queerness is definitely worth a watch.
