Maddie & Tae love to get up close and personal with their fans when they’re on stage, but it can sometimes pose some interesting challenges.  Tae Dye says, “I’m always wearing dresses so I have to make sure that they’re not like right there.”

It also means she has to keep her legs shaved because fans have a tendency to reach up and grab their legs when they’re on stage and she jokes, “You don’t want them reaching up feeling a tree or something…”

Maddie Marlow, who usually wears jeans on stage agrees and says, “Yeah, that would be really terrible.”

Maddie & Tae’s latest single is “Sierra,” off their debut album, and they’re getting to play it for thousands of fans across the country as part of Brad Paisley’s Life Amplified World Tour, which runs through the end of September.
