Maddie & Tae Do Music in a Family Way: 'It's a Beautiful, Chaotic Life in the Best Way' (Exclusive)


The hit-making duo celebrate the release of a new EP as they navigate career and motherhood — and await the birth of Tae's second child

But the new music also reflects the duo’s evolution, not only as artists, but also as women — most notably in their co-written title track, which offers a vivid portrait of feminine strength: “When your heart is drowning / staring at a mountain / wondering how it’s ever gonna move / with her perfect timing / pretty soon you’re finding / out what a woman can do.” It’s a pregnancy that required no small amount of courage — Kerr admits that, for a time, she thought never again — but she also took the important step of undergoing a surgical procedure on her cervix to prevent another premature birth. One travel trick they learned from Carrie Underwood, their former headlining tour-mate and a mother of two: Instead of hotel rooms, Kerr says, they rent a home so their kids can “be free and have space and still live their childhood even though it’s on the road.”
