SPOTTED: TEGAN MARIE AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
Young Country Newcomer All Aglow Attending The Runway Shows
Warner Music Nashville’s Tegan Marie glowed while attending New York Fashion Week on Monday and Tuesday (9/11-12). At just 13 years old, her sophisticated sense of style was on full display while sitting front row at Anna Sui. This fashion bucket list moment checks another one off the list following her record deal signing last month. The rising star is the youngest female artist to sign a major label Country deal in 45 years.
With a larger-than-life voice, the budding singer-songwriter was discovered by leading Gen Z girls’ media platform Sweety High when her father uploaded videos of her cover songs to their site. Tegan Marie – also a Radio Disney Country artist – since catapulted into the national spotlight with several high-profile media performances and appearances including ABC’s Good Morning America and PBS’ star-studded special Smokey Robinson: The Gershwin Prize and the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards. Last year, the Flint, MI, native released the song, “Lucky Me,” to benefit the children affected by the water crisis in her hometown. Continuing the momentum, her breathtaking rendition of Florida Georgia Line’s #1 hit song, “H.O.L.Y.,” racked up over 17 million views on Facebook alone. Tegan has amassed over 75 million video views and receives over five million engagements online each month. She’s also had a string of impressive performances, sharing the stage with singers Cam, Smokey Robinson and duetting with Kelsea Ballerini. This past spring Tegan appeared at CMA Music Festival on the Radio Disney Country stage and at California’s popular Country music festival Stagecoach to great acclaim. Critics praised her performance with USA Today hailing, “[Tegan] Marie has the personality and the voice of a future star, and she definitely has the always hard-to-define ‘It.’” She recently wrapped a six-city tour with Pepsi MidAmerica and is currently writing for her debut album.
