Lady Antebellum has released the video for their latest single, “Freestyle,” and it’s a little different from some of their previous videos. The trio tapped actor/comedian Nathan Barnatt as the star of the clip…or rather his character, Keith Apicary, who is a nerdy Lady A fan who will stop at nothing to get to meet the trio in New York City.

“He’s been in a Flo Rida video. He does all these viral videos and he’s hysterical. I mean, just commits to this character. And whenever you watch this video, he’s literally at the Today Show, and he gets kicked out because he’s freaking people out being there,” says Lady A’s Hillary Scott. “Our team kind of kept it from us. We didn’t really know until that night at our album release show what was really going on, ‘cause this song is so quirky and different for us, so we wanted to carry that over [to the video].”

“Freestyle” is the second single from their 747 album.

The group is nominated for Favorite Band, Duo or Group-Country at this year’s American Music Awards, which will be handed out live November 23rd on ABC.

CHARLES: “His name is Nathan, Nathan Barnett, and he’s got this character called Keith Apicary. He’s got a bunch of characters, right?” HILLARY: “Keith is like his main one. He’s been in a Flo Rida video. He does all these viral videos and he’s hysterical. I mean, just commits to this character. And whenever you watch this video, he’s literally at the Today Show, and he gets kicked out because he’s freaking people out being there.” DAVE: “We didn’t know that at that time.” HILLARY: “No. Our team kind of kept it from us. We didn’t really know until that night at our album release show what was really going on, ‘cause this song is so quirky and different for us, so we wanted to carry that over [to the video].”
