The track is featured in the latest episode of CBS’s Sheriff Country
Following the debut of her haunting single “Beat the Devil,” multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Maren Morris unveils the official music video for the song. The video premieres alongside tonight’s (Fri, Oct 24th) episode of the CBS series Sheriff Country, which features the song within a pivotal plot moment.
The video captures Morris performing the track in a quiet roadside diner, sunlight spilling in through the windows. Interwoven with scenes from Sheriff Country, the performance feels rooted in the same grounded yet eerie cinematic world of the show.
“Beat the Devil” finds Maren pairing stark lyricism (“Ain’t no holy in the water, ain’t no washing these sins”) with a haunting refrain (“you can’t beat the devil at her own game”). The track underscores her continued evolution as a songwriter unafraid to explore the shadows between vengeance and vulnerability, and mirrors the themes of reckoning and resilience that run through Sheriff Country.
“Beat The Devil” arrives on the heels of Morris’s D R E A M S I C L E (Deluxe) album release in August, further showcasing her ability to craft music that is both unflinching and evocative. Morris is currently on her global Dreamsicle Tour, which stops in Nashville tomorrow (Thurs, Sept 25th) at The Pinnacle. The tour continues its 40-date run across North America and will soon head to the UK and Europe through November.
Sheriff Country is an intense, drama-filled universe expansion of CBS’ hit show Fire Country, centered around Edgewater’s straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, played by Morena Baccarin (Deadpool, Gotham, Firefly). It follows Mickey as she uses her deeply personal (and deeply tangled) connection to the community to investigate big crime in her small town. Sheriff Country airs Fridays at 8 pm ET/PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
