Country Duo Maddie & Tae Take a Break: Pursuing Solo Careers and Family Life
Country duo Maddie & Tae, consisting of Madison Marlow Font and Taylor Dye Kerr, have decided to take a break after 15 years of working together. Kerr described the decision as heartbreaking, and Font mentioned that they had been keeping this secret for months. Font will pursue a solo career, while Kerr will focus on being a stay-at-home mother to her two young children and supporting her husband, Grammy-winning songwriter Josh Kerr.
Despite the split, the duo remains close friends and plan to nurture their friendship while focusing on their personal lives. Kerr, who has a 3-year-old daughter and a 13-month-old son, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to stay close to her family. Font, who has a 2-year-old son, is excited to release new music next year with hints of gospel, R&B, and soul influences.
While they are parting ways for now, Font and Kerr are open to the possibility of reuniting in the future for another record or tour. They value their friendship and plan to stay connected despite pursuing individual paths. The duo's decision reflects their current priorities and allows them to focus on personal and professional growth.
