Maddie & Tae’s chapter as a duo has officially come to an end.

In December, the pair shocked fans when they announced plans to part ways, and this weekend marked their final tour stop together, closing out their run as a duo.

The two documented their last show on social media, sharing a video featuring emotional moments from the night, including a final sing-along to their chart-topping hit, “Die From A Broken Heart.”

“Surrounded by our family, friends, and all of you, we closed a chapter this weekend that we’ll forever be grateful for,” they wrote. “Thank you to everyone who traveled to be there with us. the emotions were high in the best possible way.”

They ended their message by reflecting on what’s ahead, writing, “Fifteen years of memories together… and now we get to cheer each other on in our new seasons of life. nothing but love & light ahead.”

Maddie & Tae first broke onto the country music scene in 2014 with “Girl In A Country Song,” a sharp, clever response to the rise of bro-country. Their 2015 debut album, Start Here, featured fan-favorite singles like “Fly” and “Shut Up and Fish.” In 2020, they scored their second No. 1 hit with the emotional ballad “Die From A Broken Heart.” Their most recent project, Love & Light, was released in May 2025.

When they initially announced their split, Maddie Marlow Font and Taylor Dye Kerr revealed the decision was completely amicable but “heartbreaking.” Kerr shared that she planned to step back from music to focus on her growing family, while Font revealed plans to move forward with a solo career. They also left the door open for future collaborations, hinting at the possibility of shows or projects down the road while emphasizing their friendship remains strong.

“We’re leaving this so open-ended because, you know, we might make another record one day,” Font told People. “We might go do some tour dates one day.”

“Even though we’re not gonna go on this journey as Maddie & Tae together, we’re still walking and doing life together outside of it,” she later added. “I’m really excited to just be best friends and nurture our friendship and not have to worry as much about the work—and still get to raise our babies together. None of that changes.”

Ahead of their final show, the duo reflected on the moment as “what a beautiful blessing this chapter has been.”
