“We couldn’t be more excited,” the soon-to-be-mother of two shared in a separate post. 

The baby announcement was flooded with congratulatory messages from fellow artists and songwriters, including Charles Kelley, RaeLynn, Jessie James Decker, Katelyn Brown, Ashley Cooke, Tigirlily Gold, Kylie Morgan, and so many more. 

The duo’s Maddie Font is also a mother and while they have been best friends for years, Kerr recently told us they’ve “just gotten closer” after becoming mothers. 

“Now we’re meeting up for playdates with our babies,” she explained, while Font confirmed, “our kids are best friends.” 

Maddie & Tae recently made appearances at CMA Fest where they performed at Ascend Amphitheater as part of the Tracy Lawrence and Friends event with Lawrence, Riley Green, Chris Young, Priscilla Block, RaeLynn, and Charles Esten. 

They also visited the UMG Nashville Takeover at Skydeck in downtown Nashville for their fan club party. 

Just days before CMA Fest, the duo released their brand new single, “Sad Girl Summer,” giving fans a taste of what’s to come on their forthcoming project. Written by Maddie & Tae with Taylor’s husband, Josh Kerr, the song is an upbeat post-breakup anthem with banjo melodies and puts the duo’s trademark harmonies on full display. Throughout the lyrics, they encourage listeners not to dwell on past heartbreak and to focus on the good times that are yet to come.  

“This ain’t no sad girl summer, girl, we’re saying goodbye/ To that bummer of a boy who been making you cry/ There’s a good time waiting, quit wasting your time/ Let’s get something new cooking, ooh, ’cause you looking/ Hot, hot, hotter than a hundred degrees/ Think of the shot, shot, shots you could be getting for free/ I know that a broken heart hurts like a mother/ But this ain’t no sad girl summer,” they sing on the chorus. 

In mid-May Maddie & Tae spoke with Country Now about the song and teased, “It’s going to be like the girl summer anthem, and we’re so excited about it. We debuted it at Stagecoach and our fans were so pumped….And then another song’s going to come out in July, and then a half of an album’s coming out in August.” 

Fans can catch the duo performing on their headlining Here’s To Friends Tour across the country throughout the summer.
