<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>‘Kissing Cowboys’: A Celebration of the Journey</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maddie &; Tae’s latest single, <strong>‘Kissing Cowboys’</strong>, captures the carefree spirit of embracing the moment, no matter where the road takes you. Co-written by <strong>Taylor Kerr, Luke Dick, Laura Veltz, and Font</strong>, the track is a <strong>playful, feel-good anthem</strong> that perfectly embodies the heart of <em>Love &; Light</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The thing about being a little bit older,” Kerr shares, “is you realize how many things you wish someone had told you. All the stuff you worried about, the pressure to be somebody else’s idea – when you really should be out there, well, <em>kissing cowboys</em>.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>An Album Rooted in Growth and Authenticity</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Produced by <strong>Josh Kerr, Chris LaCorte, and Corey Crowder</strong>, <em>Love &; Light</em> brings together some of the best musicians in the game, including:<br><strong>Bryan Sutton</strong> – Bluegrass virtuoso<br><strong>Danny Rader</strong> – ACM Guitarist and Specialty Instrumentalist of the Year<br><strong>Jimmie Lee Sloas</strong> – Four-time ACM Bassist of the Year<br><strong>Evan Hutchings &; Aaron Sterling</strong> – Expert drummers bringing the rhythm</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a sound that lands somewhere between <strong><a title="Shania Twain" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSShania/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fshania-twain-tickets%2F">Shania Twain</a>’s bold confidence and <a title="Miranda Lambert" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSMLambert/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fmiranda-lambert-tickets%2F">Miranda Lambert</a>’s raw storytelling</strong>, Maddie &; Tae continue to carve their own lane in country music. From <strong>navigating the highs and lows of their careers to starting families and growing up together</strong>, this album is deeply personal—yet <strong>relatable to anyone who has ever faced life head-on and come out stronger</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“We’ve been out on the road,”</em> ;Kerr says, ;<em>“playing for a few thousand people at our own dates. We realised people are hungry for songs that tell it like it is about being single, being done wrong, being done right, and figuring out how to grow up without losing your sense of self, your friends or your dreams. So, we leaned into all those things.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“And we didn’t let go of that sound where we take acoustic instruments, really make them shine and then thread all that electric goodness through a pretty stout base,”</em> ;Font continues.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pre-Order <em>Love &; Light</em> Now!</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If <em>Love &; Light</em> is anything like its first few singles, fans are in for a <strong>deeply personal, yet wildly fun</strong> album that captures Maddie &; Tae at their best.</p>
