Surnames

Since this has gone back and forth a lot, I thought I'd present evidence that most modern sources still identify the duo's members as "Maddie Marlow" and "Tae Dye" despite their marriages:

This article is from only two weeks ago, and identifies the members as "Maddie Marlow" and "Tae Dye".

This article, also published this month, uses "Maddie Marlow" and "Tae Dye" as well.

While I have found some articles that use "Taylor" instead of "Tae", there at least seems to be enough of a precedent that "Maddie Marlow" and "Tae Dye" are the most commonly used variants. Common procedure is to use the most commonly used form of the name. @Jax 0677:, @CloversMallRat:, @Caldorwards4:, and anyone else, you might want to weigh in on this.

I've literally never heard either addressed as anything other than Maddie Marlow and Tae Dye so this is news to me that it's even contentious? If it's based on the fact that they both got married, I thought it was pretty well-established by now that most female musical artists don't adopt their husband's last names professionally. If it comes out that they no longer go by Marlow/Dye, then I'm sure publications will start to reflect that, but as of right now, I have honestly never seen anything other than those names used to refer to them.
