"Aw, y'all.
We ain't a cliche.
That ain't no way
to treat a lady."
-Maddie & Tae.
For the past few months, I've been on such a female empowerment kick. From listening to strong songs sung by the best women out there to watching college speech contests about sexism, I feel like the take-two revolution of feminism is coming into play. Living in Nashville, it's easy to take notice of the country music industry and how men are typically the big players in this town.
But not anymore.
Maddie & Tae may look their teenage selves, but they are well wise beyond their years. And they see the need for a revolution now more than ever. Their first-ever single, "Girl in a Country Song," came out swinging at all the bro country going around by telling them guys to shut their trap and appreciate women for more than things in cutoff shorts. By no mean are they hating the whole denim-cowboy boot-blonde complex of country, but it's nice to have a fresh perspective on the whole scheme of things.
I had the wonderful pleasure of talking to them for a bit and observing their bubbliness on the sidelines. For girls who are around the same age I am, it looks as if their future is bright and they have no intention on stopping their stomping on these grounds. They got it together and even more so, they've just got it.
