After 15 years of making music together, Maddie & Tae are calling it quits. The duo said the decision was, quote, “heartbreaking.” But Maddie added that they’re leaving things open ended. She said maybe they’ll record another album one day . . . maybe do some shows . . . but “in this season” it didn’t feel right to keep going. But apparently, their friendship is still solid. In fact, they said stepping back from their career will actually help them become better friends. The turning point came during a sad phone call in September. Tae told Maddie her heart was at home, and Maddie said, “Okay. Then that’s what we need to do.” Tae says she is stepping back to raise her kids, and Maddie is heading into a solo chapter.

Kelsea Ballerini had a testy moment onstage in Sydney this week. She was right in the middle of her song “Penthouse” when someone in the crowd yelled, “Team Morgan!” That is of course referring to her ex-husband Morgan Evans. The crowd booed, and Kelsea fired back.” She rolled her eyes and playfully flipped a middle finger. She then answered, “How about ‘team everyone happy’?” “Penthouse” is on her album “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” . . . which she wrote after their divorce. So yeah, emotions run deep with that one. After the show, Kelsea posted on Instagram saying, quote, “if anyone yells anything disrespectful during this song again, it will no longer be on the setlist.”
