September 18, 2020/by Jessica Nicholson


Maddie & Tae‘s No. 1 hit “Die From A Broken Heart” is now a Platinum-certified radio smash. The duo’s Maddie Font and Taylor Kerr were surprised with plaques commemorating the milestone during a recent photo shoot for their upcoming holiday project, We Need Christmas, which will release Oct. 23.

The six-song collection, produced by Jimmy Robbins and Derek Wells, includes two originals plus holiday favorites such as “Holly Jolly Christmas” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.”

“We are so proud of this project and loved recreating some of our favorite Christmas classics as well as write some of our own,” Font and Kerr said. “Making We Need Christmas was such a bright spot for us this year and we hope this project brings a little joy and peace to our fans during this difficult year.”
