Amber Heard’s brief appearance in Kenny Chesney’s music video recently resurfaced online amid the ongoing defamation trial. Heard is currently engaged in a legal battle with her ex-husband Johnny Depp, and the highly-publicized case has garnered a lot of attention from the media. She has been under intense scrutiny since the trial began on April 11.

Chesney’s There Goes My Life music video, from his hit 2003 album When the Sun Goes Down, has recently resurfaced on the internet because it features Amber Heard.

The song traces the story of a young boy in high school whose girlfriend becomes pregnant unexpectedly. Although he is initially disturbed by the news, he eventually embraces the circumstances. His daughter then goes on to become the most important part of his life. The video also chronicles the daughter’s journey from being a toddler to leaving home for college.

Amber Heard reportedly played the role of the grown-up daughter in the music video, but the actress is not officially credited for her small role. It is likely one of her early projects in the entertainment industry.

The music video for There Goes My Life was directed by Shaun Silva, and the song itself was written by Wendell Mobley and Neil Thrasher. It is considered to be one of Kenny Chesney’s top hits. The track reportedly spent seven consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart from December 2003 to February 2004.
