In OneRepublic's new video for its latest single, "Wherever I Go," which debuts during tonight's episode of The Voice on NBC, the band's front man, Ryan Tedder, can be seen in a fake vintage ad for Budweiser.

"Music and advertising have always gone hand in hand, but oftentimes they're not collaborative," Tedder told Adweek.
