Maddie Marlow Reached Out to the Girl Who Inspired the Maddie & Tae Song “Sierra”
It was a couple weeks ago when MADDIE & TAE said their song “Sierra” was inspired by a high school ‘friend’ who badmouthed MADDIE MARLOW behind her back.
Well,TAE DYE got the feeling there needed to be some closure, so she told Maddie to reach out to the girl . . . so she did. She sent a text to the real Sierra telling her about the song, and hoping there’d be no hard feelings.
And the girl responded almost immediately, and said it’s all good . . . she’s glad they both moved on, and congratulated Maddie on her success.
That actually DID lead to closure for Maddie. She says, quote, “I think it’s awesome that even though she was someone that really made me feel like crap about myself, we have been able to mend that relationship.
“I hope that story helps people understand that once you demand respect from someone, most of the time it happens. It’s exciting to have the situation come out so positive.”
