WHAT IT IS: Evolving from an online sensation to the youngest female country artist at a major label in 45 years, Tegan Marie has already come a long way in her young life. She catapulted into the national spotlight with her breathtaking rendition of Florida Georgia Line’s “H.O.L.Y.,” which received more than 20m views online. Since then, she’s gone on to tackle a massive string of acclaimed performances and appearances on stages nationwide. The songstress kicked off 2018 with her debut Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville song, “Keep It Lit,” and released girl-power anthem, “I Know How to Make a Boy Cry” in June. Marie is currently in the studio working on new music with Scott Hendricks (Blake Shelton) and Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift).
