With over 48 million TikTok views under her belt and a recent debut at the UK’s C2C Festival, Teigen Gayse is a rising star in the Canadian country music scene. The BCCMA Female Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year releases her new song, ‘Better Mistake’ today.
“Better Mistake is a song about unexpectedly falling for someone you considers a friend. Instead of a romance filled with regret, you realise you couldn’t have made a better mistake,” Teigen shares. “I wrote this song on my first writing trip to Nashville with Phil Barton and David Thompson. I brought the title in and we ran with it. I remember how fun and effortless it felt for the three of us to complete the song so quickly. I love how it turned out and am excited to finally share it with you all!”
Gayse’s recent single, ‘Sleeping With Her,’ soared to #21 on Canadian Country Radio, cementing her status as a formidable talent. Her prowess doesn’t end there; she recently swept the prestigious BCCMA Awards, claiming titles such as Female Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Interactive Artist of the Year.
Gayse’s musical journey has been marked by consecutive triumphs. Collaborating with Chad Kroeger of Nickelback on her previous single, “If You Show Me Yours,” Gayse saw it climb to the Top 30 on Canadian country radio and amass over two million streams across various platforms. Her earlier tracks, “I Don’t Need A Boy” and “Messed Up,” also made waves, solidifying her reputation as a rising country powerhouse.
Beyond her chart success, Gayse’s emotive storytelling and captivating performances have garnered national media attention from esteemed outlets like eTalk, ET Canada, and CMT. Her staggering online presence, with millions of catalog streams and 48 million TikTok views, showcases her remarkable staying power as an independent artist.
