About Maddie & Tae
Award-winning duo Maddie & Tae are drawing praise for their No. 1 debuting The Way It Feels album with Rolling Stone saying the music is “anchored around their stellar vocal pairings and some of the tightest harmonies on Music Row.” Together as longtime friends and music collaborators, Maddie Font and Taylor Kerr co-wrote 14 of the album’s 15 tracks including the Double Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Die From A Broken Heart.” With “Die From A Broken Heart” topping the Country Airplay charts, Maddie & Tae became the first and only female twosome with multiple No. 1s. The pair also co-wrote a brand-new track – “Woman You Got” – playing on Country radio now. “Woman You Got” is the first release from Maddie & Tae’s forthcoming project.
Maddie & Tae first broke out in 2013 with their brilliant counter to bro-country, the Platinum-selling smash, “Girl In A Country Song,” which took Country radio by storm, skyrocketing to the top of the charts. The duo became only the third female duo in 70 years to top the Country Airplay charts, also earning trophies from the Country Music Academy and Radio Disney Music Awards along with multiple ACM, Billboard, CMA and CMT Award nominations. Maddie & Tae have received widespread praise from Associated Press, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, The Tennessean, The Washington Post, Glamour and others. The celebrated duo has toured with Country music’s hottest stars including Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley and more, and they head out on The Weekends Tour with Brett Young this month.
