current single: “I WISH YOU WOULD” featuring Midland

Mackenzie Carpenter’s career causes her to have to spend time away from her husband when she’s on the road, but she doesn’t always mind it because she thinks time apart can be a healthy thing in a relationship.

Mackenzie Carpenter – absence makes heart grow fonder :28

“I definitely believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I live for anticipation of events. And I think that a lot of times the actual event isn’t as exciting as anticipating it. Maybe it’s a toxic trait, but I love to look forward to things. And you can’t look forward to something if it hasn’t been gone for a minute. And I think I do subscribe to like needing alone time and needing me time, just quiet. If I don’t have that, I kind of become a little bit of a wreck.”
