A result of the first co-write in over a decade between Nashville-based singer-songwriters MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge, the married duo release their viral duet “Happy Every After You”.

Affectionately dubbing their musical partnership Thelma & James, Porter and Etheridge shared an impromptu video that garnered over five million views nearly overnight while praise rolled in from fans and fellow artists like Luke Combs, Brandi Carlile, Natasha Beddingfield, ERNEST, Ella Langley, and more, leading to song’s official release.

The release follows a year of global success for Porter including the release of her 19-song debut album Nobody’s Born With A Broken Heart, co-hosting the CCMA Awards with Thomas Rhett where she was crowned Female Artist of the Year, as well as touring alongside Keith Urban and Parker McCollum.
