Maddie & Tae’s latest single is called “Fly,” and while Maddie Marlow used to hate flying on airplanes, she says now it’s like second nature. She says, “Airplanes almost feel like home now because we’re on them at least five times a week.”
Maddie also says she would consider other types of flying. “I do wanna go skydiving one day,” she says, “but I want my whole family to be there with me when I do that, and hopefully convince them to do it too. It’s always something that we’ve always wanted to do together. Hot air balloons look really cool too.”
Maddie credits her singing partner, Tae, and her fearlessness, for rubbing off on her. She says if you’d asked her about adventurous things she might like to try five years ago her answers would have been completely different.

Maddie & Tae – flying skydiving balloon :27
Maddie Marlow – “So, I used to hate airplanes until we started radio tour, because then I really didn’t have a choice. Airplanes almost feel like home now because we’re on them at least five times a week. I do wanna go skydiving one day, but I want my whole family to be there with me when I do that, and hopefully convince them to do it too. It’s always something that we’ve always wanted to do together. Hot air balloons look really cool too. Honestly, if Tae’s fearless hadn’t rubbed off on me the past five years my answers would completely different.”
