It was easy to see from the moment Mackenzie was introduced on “Claim to Fame” that she had some sort of country flare to her. She must have gotten it from her dad, country legend Trace Adkins.
With a little research, fans discovered Adkins has five daughters, one of which is Mackenzie. Mackenzie is smacked right in the middle of all her siblings, being the third-born. However, she is the oldest child from Adkin’s marriage to his ex-wife, Rhonda. Of course, the nternet does make it easier to figure out who the contestants on “Claim to Fame” are related to, especially since her famous dad didn’t seem to put any effort into hiding the fact that they’re family.
In January 2023, the “You’re Gonna Miss This” singer even shared an Instagram post with Mackenzie by his side. The singer’s team wrote in the caption, “It’s always a good day when Trace’s daughters, Mackenzie and Trinity, visit him on set!” A couple of months later, Adkins’ account posted another photo of Mackenzie hanging out with Niall Horan. It was captioned: “There’s only one man who can get my daughters up at 4am to catch a flight back to Nashville after visiting LA/@NBCTheVoice. No it’s not Blake. Thanks to @niallhoran for being so sweet to my girls. I’ll just stand in the back and make sure everyone’s bags are ok.” So, if Mackenzie had anyone to blame for her identity being revealed, well, it’s her famous dad.
