25-year-old singer/songwriter Mackenzie Carpenter has been steadily making a name for herself as a songwriting force, but the young talent has also been bolstering her own catalog, landing her on Spotify's Hot Country 2024 Artists To Watch and CMT's 2023 Next Women of Country. Her debut album, Hey Country Queen, showcases her multi-dimensionality while paying homage to the beloved "Country Queens" that paved the way for the tongue-in-cheek singer/songwriter to boldly speak her mind and write her truth.
