Tanner Adell is an American country music singer and songwriter. Her debut album, Buckle Bunny, was released in 2023.

Early life

Half black and half white, Adell was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and was adopted and raised in Manhattan Beach, California.[1] She spent summers growing up in Star Valley, Wyoming.[2] She learned to play piano, violin and string bass and taught herself guitar, then studied commercial music at Utah Valley University.[2] She was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and completed two years of missionary service in Stockholm.[1]

Career

Adell moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2021 to enter the country music business.[2] She gained a following on social media and signed with Columbia Records.[2]

Following a string of singles and an EP, Adell released her debut studio album, Buckle Bunny, on July 21, 2023.[2] The term refers to female groupies of rodeo cowboys.[2] The title track was her biggest viral hit to that point, and she had 360,000 followers on Instagram by the next month.[2] It was named one of the best songs of the year by NPR.[3]

In 2024, Adell featured on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album, the second album of her trilogy project.[4] Adell appears on the track "Blackbiird", a cover of The Beatles' song, and provides background vocals on "Ameriican Requiem".[5]

After parting ways with Columbia, it was announced in June 2024 that Adell had signed with Love Renaissance.[6]
