Country duo Maddie & Tae, consisting of Maddie Font and Taylor 'Tae' Kerr, have announced their decision to part ways after over a decade of collaboration. The duo, known for hits like 'Girl in a Country Song' and 'Die From a Broken Heart,' will not be calling it a 'breakup' but rather a temporary separation. Kerr is stepping back from the music industry to focus on her family, including her husband, Grammy-winning songwriter Josh Kerr, and their two children, Leighton and Chapel. Meanwhile, Font plans to pursue a solo career, balancing her music ambitions with her role as a mother to her 2-year-old son, Forrest. Both women emphasize that their personal bond remains strong and that they may reunite musically in the future. They describe their decision as driven by faith and a desire to prioritize their families, with Kerr expressing gratitude for her time in music and her new focus on being a wife and mother. Font is already working on new music, exploring different genres, and plans to release solo projects next year. Despite ending their professional partnership, they aim to maintain their friendship and support each other’s journeys, with remaining tour dates scheduled through June 2026. The duo hopes their example will inspire other mothers to embrace their life choices without shame, emphasizing that motherhood and career can coexist in different ways.
