(AUDIO) Maddie & Tae Have A Long List of Strong Female Influences

At just 18 years old, Maddie & Tae have a long list of strong female influences that they look up to in country music. Maddie starts the list with “Shania Twain, Dixie Chicks, Jo Dee Messina.” Tae also cites Lee Ann Womack and she says, “We love Carrie (Underwood).” Of course Maddie says you can’t forget Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift, and Tae would add Kacey Musgraves to the list as well.

While we haven’t heard any stories yet, we would imagine some of those ladies get a kick out of Maddie & Tae’s debut single, “Girl in a Country Song,” poking fun at the way guys sometimes portray girls in country songs.
