Maddie & Tae Sing Through A Breakup In ‘Die From A Broken Heart’ Video

Maddie & Tae reel through a breakup in the visual for their song “Die From a Broken Heart.”

The country-singing duo, consisting of Maddie Marlow and Taylor Dye, sing of being on the other side of a breakup with someone who’s already moved on. In the slow-burning visual, which features Marlow wearing a beautiful red gown as she sings in a foggy field, Dye acts out her own story of love and heartbreak as her relationship dissolves right before her eyes.

The musicians expressed the direction for the project in a press release for the video.

“We knew that with a song like ‘Die From a Broken Heart,’ the music video needed to come from that same vulnerability and that’s exactly what we did,” said Dye. “We went back and forth with our director Carlos Ruiz for weeks just trying to make sure we had all the tools to make this story come to life. This music video was healing for me and I hope it plays a part in someone else’s healing as well.”

Marlow added: “Carlos was the best director to collaborate with on this video. He really listened to our vision and what we wanted this video to look and feel like. Carlos came up with the bones of the treatment and we filled in the details with what inspired ‘Die From a Broken Heart.’ My goal was to tell the story as honestly as possible and make people feel for either the one with her heartbroken or for the best friend having to watch her go through it.”

“Tae was so vulnerable and did an amazing job acting out her story,” she continued. “I’m so proud of her for going there fully, so that others can connect. Of all the videos we’ve created, ‘Die From a Broken Heart’ is the one I’m most proud of making.”
