A country music video parody featuring Blake Shelton, Kate McKinnon, and Aidy Bryant singing about a magical boot that appears to help people in their darkest moments. The sketch satirizes sentimental country music tropes and inspirational ballads. Each performer tells their story of hardship - Kate's farm burning down and raising her brothers in a motel, Aidy's criminal past including theft and prostitution, and Blake working in a barn with his dog Jake. The twist comes when Blake encounters what he thinks is the Wishin' Boot, but it's actually a fake that threatens him with a knife. His dog Jake then transforms into the real Wishin' Boot, revealing "the whole dang time that dog had been the boot." The sketch ends with the performers breaking character as Kate jokes about making money off the song.
