Inside Maddie And Tae's Friendship
Country music duo Madison "Maddie" Marlow and Taylor "Tae" Dye's friendship runs deep. According to Country Fancast, Madison and Taylor became friends after sharing the same vocal coach in Dallas, Texas. Taylor told UMGNashville in 2019: "When we met...we were so young when we met. And we were just best friends. So, it was a learning process for us to be business partners, but best friends. And we found a great balance."
In 2014, Maddie and Tae's hit, "Girl in a Country Song," skyrocketed the two to fame, per People. Maddie and Tae's star power has continued to rise, and in November 2020, they got nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year at the 2020 CMA Awards. Although the group didn't win (that honor went to Dan + Shay), their song, "Die From a Broken Heart," hit No. 1 on the country charts in August 2020, according to Billboard.
