We fell in love with country stars Maddie Marlow and Tae Dye when the duo debuted “Girl in a Country Song” last summer. It was a powerful single that was just the anthem we needed, with lyrics that defy the male-dominated country music industry. Fortunately for us, Maddie & Tae aren’t slowing down—last week, they released their album “Start Here,” which is full of empowering tracks every collegiette can relate to, featuring pieces on following your dreams, knowing it’s okay not to have everything in life figured out and other refreshingly honest songs.
“We wrote these songs because no one else is writing about life the way you’re really living it—it’s not all parties and glam. The Dixie Chicks were like that: this is our truth. They weren’t ashamed. We aren’t either,” Maddie said of their new album.
So when it came to putting together the ultimate female empowerment playlist, there wasn’t anybody thought to turn to besides this trailblazing pair. Check out Maddie & Tae’s girl power playlist below… and get ready to listen to these impressive songs on repeat!
