Starting off this year the same way she finished 2022, country music singer Maren Morris is once again making headlines for trashing the community responsible for launching her career.
During her recent appearance as a featured celebrity guest on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the “My Church” singer went out of her way to smear the country music world as anti-LGBT and took it upon herself to apologize on its behalf.
“Coming from country music and its relationship with LGBTQ+ members, I just want to say I’m sorry,” an emotional Morris said to a group of drag queens. “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.”
“I’ve done some cool sh-t. #DragRace is rivaling it all,” she added in Jan. 13 tweet.
Try as she may to cast herself as a tolerant person, the incident was hardly the first time Morris openly smeared country music and its millions of adoring fans. During a September interview with the Los Angeles Times, the “Rich” singer accused the industry of being “a very insidious culture of people feeling very comfortable being transphobic and homophobic and racist, and that they can wrap it in a joke and no one will ever call them out for it.”
“I hate feeling like I need to be the hall monitor of treating people like human beings in country music,” she whined, adding that it all “got worse — irreparable, almost” after Donald Trump
