Warner Chappell Music Nashville has signed a global publishing deal with rising singer-songwriter Elizabeth Nichols .

Nichols burst onto the country music scene with her viral breakout single, “I Got a New One,” which has amassed over 60 million global streams to date. She is currently on her first-ever national headlining run , the "I Don't Kiss and Tell, I Kiss and Tour."

“I’m very excited to join Warner Chappell, where I can finally monetize my questionable taste in men. I have the best team in the world. Here’s to many more songs,” Nichols shares.

Katy Wolaver , SVP, A&R, Warner Chappell Music, says, “Elizabeth is a breath of fresh air… witty, clever, and unabashed in taking authentic life experiences and turning them into irresistible lyrics and melodies. Her songs embrace a wide range of moods and emotions, from unique takes on relationships to political satire. In just a short time on the country landscape, she’s moved her career into high gear, and all of us at Warner Chappell are delighted to join her on what is sure to be an incredible ride.”

Born in Texas, raised in Kentucky, and educated in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Australia, Nichols moved to Nashville in 2024 to attend law school but soon turned her focus to music. After sharing original songs on TikTok, she rapidly built a fanbase of over one million followers across socials. Tracks like “Ain’t Country,” “Sweet Cigarette,” and “Okie Boys” have turned heads, leading to Nichols being named Billboard ’s Country Rookie of the Month in June 2025 and making her Grand Ole Opry debut in November 2025.
