With Leighton (born January 2022) already bringing sunshine to their lives, Taylor and Josh are thrilled to welcome another little one to their growing family.

Taylor Kerr’s Strength Through Hardship

Taylor Kerr’s journey to becoming a mother hasn’t been easy.

In a past social media post on World Prematurity Day, she shared her emotional experience during her first pregnancy.

Taylor talked about the heartbreaking moment when she found out she was in preterm labor at only 24 weeks.

This surprising news brought Taylor and her husband, Josh, a flood of emotions—sadness, fear, and confusion—as they had to deal with a reality very different from what they had imagined.

The thought of losing their dream birth experience was very tough. But Taylor’s story also showed her resilience and strength.

She talked about feeling sad for not having the perfect pregnancy they had hoped for, but she also shared a strong message of gratitude.

Despite the difficulties, Taylor and Josh were blessed with the birth of their beautiful daughter, Leighton.

Going through these hard times gave them a deeper appreciation for the miracle of becoming parents, making them even more joyful to welcome another child into their family.

The Village of Country Mamas

The world of country music isn’t just about sold-out tours and glittering awards shows. Behind the scenes, a unique sisterhood exists – the “mom squad.”

This network of female artists, including Summer Pardi, RaeLynn, Katelyn Brown, and Mackenzie Porter, all share a special bond: motherhood.

Their children are around the same age as Taylor Kerr’s daughter, Leighton, and Maddie Marlow’s son, Forrest, creating a natural connection.

Balancing motherhood’s demands with the rigorous music industry schedule is no easy feat.

Touring, recording, and promotional commitments can take a toll, leaving little time for the joys and challenges of raising young children.

However, this “mom squad” offers invaluable support. As Mackenzie Porter eloquently stated,

“it’s crazy, once I got pregnant, RaeLynn, Maddie & Tae, all these girls who have done it reach out. They were like ‘when you have the baby, hit me up. We’ll tell you how we toured, breastfed while on the road, all these kinds of things.'”

This built-in network allows them to share experiences, tips, and encouragement, creating a supportive environment where they can navigate the complexities of motherhood while continuing their musical careers.

Balancing Motherhood and Music

The world of music is tough, with long tours, recording sessions, and lots of promotions.

For moms in this industry, raising children adds another challenge. Balancing family needs and musical dreams takes a lot of dedication and resilience.

Taylor Kerr and her music partner, Maddie Marlow, know these challenges well. Taylor’s new baby will bring joy but also require changes.

They might need to adjust tour schedules and find creative childcare solutions. Taylor has already shown her resourcefulness with her two-year-old daughter, Leighton.

She blends motherhood with her career in Maddie & Tae, proven by their successful SPRING TOURS.

Charles Kelley playfully poked fun at Taylor for keeping the news a secret during their recent writing session, saying, “Amazing news man. Guess this wasn’t something u wanted to mention to me in our writing session 3 days ago???”
