Maddie & Tae Named CMA Foundation Artist Ambassadors

Award-winning country artists Maddie & Tae have joined forces with the CMA Foundation to inspire music teachers and students through virtual classroom visits.

As the newest CMA Foundation Artist Ambassadors, the duo will participate in discussions about overcoming challenges and the importance of empowering the next generation of female leaders. They’ll also discuss how music helped them develop confidence and share experiences about their journeys in the music industry.

“Maddie & Tae have used their voices throughout their careers to advocate for the importance of music education, supporting the CMA Foundation’s mission to provide equitable opportunities for students across the country,” says Tiffany Kerns, CMA Foundation Executive Director. “As we are celebrating Music In Our Schools Month in March, we are excited to have these talented women join our CMA Foundation Artist Ambassador collective to share the power of music with students and music teachers. The CMA Foundation understands that representation is key in all areas of life. Maddie & Tae are two strong, talented and resilient female leaders in the music industry and we are looking forward to them being examples for these students and teachers, showing them that anything is possible.”

“Music has always been incredibly special to us,” says Taylor Kerr of Maddie & Tae. “Not only for the enjoyment of listening and creating, but for the healing and connection it brings to so many. We feel honored to be the new CMA Foundation ambassadors and look forward to chatting about our favorite thing in the whole world!”

Maddie & Tae will be joining a notable group of CMA Foundation Artist Ambassadors, including Jimmie Allen, Linday Ell, and Ashley McBryde, who have helped advocate for access to music education for students across the country.
