Maddie & Tae release "Die From a Broken Heart" video

The treatment was predominately written by the duo about the demise of a young couple's relationship. Taylor Dye acted in the video with Maddie Marlow taking lead vocals.

"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," Dye said. "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."

"Carlos was the best director to collaborate with on this video," said Marlow. "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 heart broken 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. 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."

Maddie & Tae are next slated to appear at The 13th Annual ACM Honors on Aug. 21 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.

Next month, the duo will resume as support on Carrie Underwood's The Cry Pretty Tour 360.
