Nashville, TN (September 30, 2016) – With a larger than life voice, 12-year-old Sweety High country music sensation, Tegan Marie, shined during her performance at The Girls’ Lounge
Dinner during Ad Week 2016 in New York City on Tuesday (9/27). The
exclusive event, attended by over 1,000 of the world’s top female
executives, gives visibility to females in the work force. It also

audience when she performed her current single “Lucky Me” along with her
rendition of Florida Georgia Line’s “H.O.L.Y.”

dominant youth influencers of tomorrow. Flush with billions in spending

to their psyche.” Sweety High has unlocked the door to this market.

ABOUT TEGAN MARIE:
The 12-year-old country music sensation Tegan Marie made her national morning TV debut with “Lucky Me” on ABC’s Good Morning America
(8/29). A native of Flint, MI, the burgeoning young superstar stunned
listeners this summer when she released her breathtaking rendition of
Florida Georgia Line’s #1 smash-hit, “H.O.L.Y.” Within three weeks it garnered over 15 million views on Facebook, made Florida Georgia Line “misty-eyed” and was featured in Us Weekly’s “Buzzzz-o-Meter” column. RARE Country hailed “If you remember the shock we all felt when a 13-year-old LeAnn Rimes first hit the country scene with ‘Blue’
back in the mid-‘90s, then you’ll appreciate how rare a talent we’ve
got in Tegan.” Her exceptional talent also caught the attention of the
U.S. Women’s Soccer Team as they invited her to perform the national anthem at their last home game before the Olympics. Following her CMA Music Festival performance on the Radio Disney Country stage in June, Tegan Marie opened for country stars Hunter Hayes and Cassadee Pope.
Tegan
Marie was born in Grand Blanc, MI, a suburb of Flint, in 2003. In March
of this year, the young philanthropist released her single, “Lucky Me,”
with 100% of the proceeds going to children directly affected by the
water crisis in her hometown. Her sweet, clean vocals and sensitive
interpretations have tween and teen girls across the nation clamoring
for more. Tegan was discovered by Sweety High, having first shared her
videos on their site. In their words, she is “your new obsession.” For
