It takes place in a bar, and is (unsurprisingly) inspired by the lyrics of “Nine Ball.” The song is written from the perspective of a son whose father is a gambler and explores the impact this has on their relationship. Nine Ball’s promotional poster suggests that McConaughey plays the father character, although this remains speculation for now.
Regardless of when Nine Ball ultimately debuts, Bryan’s fanbase is primed to lap it up. Reactions to the music video’s promotional poster were overwhelmingly positive when it arrived on X (formerly Twitter).
