Mackenzie Carpenter releases her newest feel-good, raise-your-glass track “Be Alright (The Beer Girl Anthem)” via Big Machine Records. A playful, boot-stomping good time anthem, Carpenter’s new song celebrates the carefree nights spent with friends and finding fulfillment in the simple things of life like backroads, blue jeans, young love and of course, an ice-cold beer.

“Meet your new anthem for when life is doing a little too much,” says Carpenter, “Be alright (the beer girl anthem) is your reminder that when the world gets to moving too fast or just feels like too much sometimes you just need to slow down and get back to what makes you happy.”
Written by Mackenzie Carpenter, Micah Carpenter, and Mia Mantia and produced by Micah Carpenter, this song is a classic country groove driven by upbeat guitar riffs, a toe-tapping rhythm, and feel-good harmonies.
A recent ACM New Female Artist of the Year nominee, Carpenter is continuing to build momentum with “Be Alright (The Beer Girl Anthem)” adding to previous releases including the playful “Kinda Want Your Man,” vulnerable “Heart That Don’t Break,” love-struck “All In Already,” and edgy “High Pony.”
Carpenter broke out in 2025 with her debut album Hey Country Queen, earning recognition as MusicRow’s Next Big Thing, a CMT Next Woman of Country, and one of Spotify’s Hot Country Artists to Watch. As a songwriter, she co-wrote Megan Moroney’s “I’m Not Pretty” and “Indifferent,” as well as the CMA-nominated “You Had To Be There” with Kenny Chesney. Carpenter has toured alongside Riley Green’s Cowboy As It Gets Tour as well as Jason Aldean’s Songs About Us Tour this summer.
She performed at the Grand Ole Opry as part of its Opry Goes Pink show alongside Moroney this past Tuesday (10.27), as well as with Brad Paisley for Brad Paisley Live at Hilliard Center Arena in Corpus Christi, TX earlier this month.

ABOUT MACKENZIE CARPENTER: Raised in the small town of Hull, Georgia, Mackenzie Carpenter grew up writing songs with her brothers and singing in church, shaping a voice that felt honest before it ever felt polished. That foundation became the heartbeat of her debut album, Hey Country Queen, a 13-song introduction that blended humour, heartbreak, and sharp storytelling, earning over 100 million streams to date and recognition as one of Holler’s Best Country Albums of 2025. But if Country Queen was the crown, her next chapter is the aura.
Mackenzie’s new releases mark an evolution that confidently wears a magnetic and contagious presence. It’s the sound of a woman you notice before you understand why. Aspirational–but undeniably human–close enough to recognize yourself in her, while luminous in a way that makes you fall in love with who you’re becoming. Following the April 3 release of her new song “All In Already,” the 2026 ACM New Female Artist of the Year nominee continues the momentum with her sassy new track “High Pony,” arriving May 15.
Still rooted in classic Country storytelling, this new project expands the atmosphere around it. The production feels warm and charming. The writing cuts deeper but lands softer, and a rare duality exists throughout. It’s playful yet iconic, and grounded yet glowing. Mackenzie moves from barefoot honesty to center stage confidence without changing a single thing about who she is. This music leans into nuance: the tucked-hair glance, the laugh that spills out without apology, the ache beneath the wit. It feels like sunshine blended with a secret, both effortlessly cool and undeniably alluring.
Beyond her own artistry, Mackenzie continues shaping the next wave of Country music as a trusted co-writer behind Megan Moroney’s “I’m Not Pretty,” “Indifferent,” the CMA-nominated “You Had To Be There” (with Kenny Chesney), and multiple tracks on Moroney’s latest album. Her breakout duet “I Wish You Would” (ft. Midland) was hailed as one of 2025’s most irresistible collaborations, cementing her as both a compelling voice and a sought-after pen. Named to MusicRow’s ‘Next Big Thing’ Artists Class, Spotify’s Hot Country Artists to Watch, and CMT’s Next Women of Country, Carpenter has shared stages with Miranda Lambert, Jordan Davis, Parker McCollum and more. She continued into 2026 on select dates of Riley Green’s Cowboy As It Gets Tour, as well as select dates of Jason Aldean as support for his Songs About Us Tour.
