The interview in there is excellent. I wish more of her music had the empathy and incisiveness she exhibits in things like this.
That's why "Better Than We Found It" is one of my favorite Maren songs

"Better Than We Found It" is so good. Maren is truly an incredible songwriter, singer, and person. I just love how she stands up for what she believes in and isn't afraid to speak her mind. I do wish her music would go back to sounding more like her first album than where it has been going but overall I do still like her a lot. I also hope she continues to call out the trash of Country music the way she has been and hope more artist will stand up with her!

Weird how Maren Morris calls herself the country music hall monitor while ignoring rape allegations from a guy involved with country music for the last handful of years.

(and also absolutely love that she has a group chat with Kacey and the Brothers Osborne! I would love to read that. lol)

Maybe Maren should be a hall monitor at the Grammy Awards. You probably could find many felons and rapists there. The constant bashing of country music is getting old.

No. The outdated and bigoted and racist comments are what I am talking about. Your subtle (though not so subtle) racism in this post is sickening. Do better. Vikings suck by the way.

The constant bashing of country music is getting old. Lol! It's the consistent sexism and racism of the country music industry that is past old. If they would improve on that, guess what? There would then be no need to bash the industry. Related, this is the part of Maren's interview you need to read (and that makes it appropriate for this specific thread):

This is the country music forum, not the Grammys or other genres forum. If you want to discuss other genres go to their perspective forums and topics. Here it is brought up the problematic issues with the country music industry because those of us here want it to change as fans of the music. Stop trying to ignore the problems because you don't like what you are hearing

Calling out actual pieces of garbage like Jason and Brittany Aldean is not bashing country music. Believe it or not, people with taste who appreciate country music tend to listen to Maren more so. Just because you seem to like overall garbage human beings doesn't mean that we hate country music.

Maren Morris is just unnecessarily setting herself up at this point. Let's be real, not many people will care whether she will show up at the CMA Awards, not with the commercial performance of the album era so far. And it's not like she can threaten the CMA not to allow the Aldeans to be there anyway. The industry has harbored those people for so long, after all. She is getting many troll comments, and the situation will be much worse whatever actions she will do.

It's not like she released a press statement saying "I'm not attending!" Let's also keep in mind that this all started because the Aldeans made unprompted transphobic comments.

Let's also keep in mind that this all started because the Aldeans made unprompted transphobic comments. I am with you regarding the second point, but the first point not so much. The interview is so obviously a follow-up interview rather than the typical on tour interview. She could have not accepted that. Sure calling out the transphobic comments publicly is a nice thing to do, but celebrities face larger repercussions than the industry, and she should foresee the inevitable situation, which sees her stucking in a dilemma right now.

You might see her in a dilemma, but maybe she doesn't see it that way. She seems pretty clear in what she's saying and how she thinks/feels about it all. I'm not sure she cares about a fallout or whatever. The people in a "dilemma" are the people who oppose what's going on but wonder if it's worth risking their career. The reason what John Rich and others are saying is stupid is because the Aldeans and Wallen (and Toby Keith 20 years ago) never had to really fear that what they said would cost them their career, whereas that is a real risk (if not reality) for The Chicks, Maren Morris, etc.

Honestly I read this as Grammy PR since she didn’t make female vocalist at the CMAs in an album cycle so what good are they to her anyways. Just my thoughts from working in entertainment, not meant to be controversial 😀

Did you actually read the interview? The CMAs question is nearly at the end, the rest of the interview is incredibly well done. The CMA answer is clearly being used as click bait but that's not at all what the interview focused on.

Opening sentence is "Maren Morris knew the question was coming." The decision whether she would go to CMA Awards is clearly the effect of the feud.

I misunderstood your point, I guess, I thought you were speaking specifically to the CMA aspect of it, which is fairly buried. But yes I agree that the interview was very much in respect to the feud.

Yeah my point is her actions won't worth it, and jenglisbe says she may think this is all worthy, which I have no opinion on.

Morris has been pretty "liberal" from the jump, and her first single said the radio was her church (which isn't a conservative thing to say). I find it hard to believe any fans of hers haven't known where she stands on these types of issues, and frankly anyone saying they stopped being a fan after this recent incident was probably lying (they either weren't a fan to begin with, or they're just saying it and will still listen to her). Morris even says that herself in the interview. That's another reason why I don't see this as being a dilemma for her.

Yeah I don't particularly think the interview was bad for her, she's been incredibly outspoken since the start so this shouldn't really be anything new for her fans (nor was it anything new for Aldean's fans). I get that everyone wants to project the 'big happy family' for country but there's a lot of nuance there and Nashville itself is the most liberal part of TN - I would surmise she is not alone at all (Brothers Osborne have been pretty outspoken as well, even before TJ came out), people just stay quiet. Frankly, more people should probably start speaking up - it's evident things are festering below the surface and sooner or later it's gonna blow.

This is not a dilemma for them at all. It’s good PR for Maren with the people who think Jason and Brittany are gross. People on the same political side as Maren ate up the shirts and that’s where she got the most positive attention from this entire situation and her team knows that. Hence the headline picked for the entire article. Behind every piece is a publicist and a manger who know what they’re doing. Also I do think she was probably surprised to not get more CMA nominations. I honestly have no clue where she stands among voters there and maybe she doesn’t either right now. Jason never really gets any anymore so that’s whatever.

“Mediabase has proven itself to be the most trusted and referenced radio data provider in today’s fast-moving, ever-changing music industry,” Well, about that...

Mediabase is for sure the most trusted for the labels. They know just how many points to give a song when it needs to hit #1 on a push week.

huge news, but ugh. Labels like Mediabase better because it's easier to manipulate. I prefer Billboards audience metric. Especially since mediabase has never actually been forthcoming about the formula they use to calculate points
