While chatting in 2022, Maren Morris shared that she experienced postpartum depression and “a lot of identity crises” after the birth of her son.
“Not just being a new parent and a new mother and dealing with postpartum depression for the first time, and reeling from that, and trying to like find the forest through the trees. But also just knowing my worth without someone clapping for me,” she said.
In January 2023, Morris commentedabout the lack of inclusivity in country music.
“Coming from country music and its relationship with LGBTQ+ members, I just want to say I’m sorry,” she said during an appearance on “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked.”
“And I love you guys for making me feel like a brave voice in country music. So, I just thank you guys so much for inspiring me.”
While chatting with Ellen DeGeneres in 2021, Maren Morris emphasized the need for inclusivity in her industry. She specifically praised T.J. Osborne of Brothers Osborne, who had come out as gay that year.
“I hope that him having the bravery to even do that has made a few more people that love country music that are gay feel like they have a home there too,” she said.
“I’m so proud of him. He was one of my first friends when I moved to Nashville eight years ago. He’s just so talented, so kind. For him to put it all out there is just, I’m not a sliver of that brave so I’m really proud of T.J.”
Morris and The Brothers Osborne collaborated on the song “All My Favorite People” in 2022, where they sing “It is who it is and we love who we love,” embracing a message of acceptance and love for all.
