Brooke Eden wants you to "Giddy Up!"
Through her new Pride anthem of the same name, released Friday, the queer country star is teaching LGBTQ+ folks how to line-dance in order to create more inclusive spaces — in music and the real world.
"Line dancing has always been a place of belonging for me," Eden says. "I grew up performing in my dad's line dancing band, and the community and joy of those nights inspired my new single. I wanted to create a song that brought the queer and the line dancing communities together, no matter who you are or where you’re from, to move, connect, and celebrate."
Below, Eden created a short line-dancing tutorial for Out readers. She's also teaching these moves across the country as part of her Giddy Up! Nights tour, where she personally teaches the "fun and accessible routine" to fans of all skill levels, a release notes. While on tour, she'll also perform her new singles "Giddy Up!" and "Rainbow Rodeo," as well as her 2023 Pride anthem "Outlaw Love."

Eden came out as queer in 2021, and last November, welcomed her first child with wife Hilary Hoover; their marriage was officiated by Trisha Yearwood in August 2022. The GLAAD nominee, who has been queering country ever since, is set to perform at a number of Pride events this year, including WorldPride DC and WeHo Pride's Outloud Music Festival.
