Maren Morris, the 34-year-old singer-songwriter known for chart-toppers like “The Middle” and “Bones,” has used Pride Month as a platform to publicly come out as bisexual.
The announcement, made via a social media post following a sold-out concert in Phoenix on Sunday, sent a wave of excitement through her fanbase and the LGBTQ+ community.
Happy to be the B”: A Powerful Message for Pride Month
Maren Morris took to Instagram, sharing a series of photos from her “RSVP Redux” tour with a caption that resonated with many:
“Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy pride .”
This simple yet powerful statement comes just months after the Grammy winner finalized her divorce from Ryan Hurd, a fellow country music singer, in January 2024. The couple, married for five years, share a young son, Hayes.
Morris’s announcement extends beyond personal growth; it’s a significant moment for inclusivity within the music industry, particularly country music, which has historically grappled with issues of LGBTQ+ representation.
Earlier this year, Morris made headlines for a different reason: her decision to step away from country music. In a candid interview with the New York Times “Popcast,” she spoke out about the genre’s “toxic” environment, expressing her disillusionment with its current direction. Despite praising Nashville’s songwriting talent, she declared she could no longer participate in the negativity that permeated the country music scene.
Maren Morris’s latest revelation is a powerful statement on multiple fronts. It celebrates her own journey of self-discovery and embraces inclusivity within the music industry. Fans and the LGBTQ+ community are undoubtedly celebrating her authenticity and courage.
It remains to be seen if Morris will continue her hiatus from country music, but one thing is certain: her voice, both literal and metaphorical, will continue to resonate with fans who value honesty and inclusivity.
