Tanner Adell made waves when she appeared on Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER LP. The singer, who lends her voice to "BLACKBIIRD," recently stopped by the Genius Verified studios to break down her own breakout single, "Buckle Bunny."
"[Buckle bunny] used to be a derogatory term used to describe a lady who got all dressed up to go to the rodeo and hit on the cowboys and hopefully link up with the cowboy with the biggest buckle, which would be whoever won that night," she says.
But today, Tanner is flipping that term on its head. Now, she says, the term is defined by independence and fearlessness. And that's at the heart of this runaway hit single. The song was named as one of the Best Songs of the Year (2023) by NPR and it continues to shine alongside other Adell tracks like "Whiskey Blues."
