Maddie & Tae Announce New Album & Tour: ‘Love & Light’ 

Maddie & Tae have a new song out, “Kissing Cowboys,” with details announced today for a new album and spring tour. The country music duo have lined up shows in New York, Chicago, Nashville, Denver and Los Angeles. 

Reflecting on the new song, Tae Kerr says, “The thing about being a little bit older is you realize how many things you wish someone had told you. All the stuff you worried about, the pressure to be somebody else’s idea – when you really should be out there, well, ‘kissing cowboys.’”

Love & Light is due out May 2 on Mercury Nashville.

The album is described as providing “stories of resilience, confidence, vulnerability, and the ever-enduring bond of friendship and sisterhood Maddie & Tae have formed over the years. Together, they have grown up, started families, seen the world, and faced career highs and lows. Those life lessons and wisdom are reflected throughout Love & Light.” 

The LP, which marks their fourth studio album, features 16 tracks and was produced by Josh Kerr, Chris LaCorte, and Corey Crowder. Along with “Kissing Cowboys,” the album includes previously released songs “Free Like,” “Sad Girl Summer” and “Heart They Didn’t Break.”

“We’ve been out on the road,” Tae Kerr says, “playing for a few thousand people at our own dates. We realized people are hungry for songs that tell it like it is about being single, being done wrong, being done right, and figuring out how to grow up without losing your sense of self, your friends or your dreams. So, we leaned into all those things.”

Maddie Font adds, “And we didn’t let go of that sound where we take acoustic instruments, really make them shine and then thread all that electric goodness through a pretty stout base.”

Maddie & Tae are managed by Otter Creek Entertainment.

The spring tour starts April 10 at New York’s Irving Plaza. Check out the routing below. Tickets are available now.
