Cassadee Pope’s latest single is the title track from her Summer EP, and when it came time to shoot the video, which focuses on a fast burning summer romance, Cassadee wanted to try out her acting chops, even though it’s not something she’s done a lot of in the past.  She says, “I’m the one acting in it alongside a guy that we brought in from LA named Sam who’s awesome.  And I just told him, I said, ‘I’m not really an actress first and foremost.  I love to do it, but if you could just kind of take control of the situation and guide me and, you know, just be the one to take control, that would be great.’  And he did and it was great—I put on the acting hat.”

For someone who hasn’t done a lot of acting, Cassadee did a great job in the “Summer” video, which you can see now on VEVO.
