After feuding with Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany Aldean, Maren Morris still hasn’t decided whether attending this years CMA Awards would be a good choice.
Morris, 32, earned a nomination, but confessed in a new interview that she doesn’t feel comfortable Attending the annual awards in person.
“I’m very honored that my record is nominated. But I don’t know if I feel at home there right now,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “So many people I love will be in that room, and maybe I’ll make a game-time decision and go.”
Morris’ hit record “Humble Quest” is up for Album of the Year, while Jason, 45, is vying for Musical Event of the Year for his Carrie Underwood duet “If I Didn’t Love You.”
“I don’t feel comfortable going,” Morris told the newspaper. “Some nights are fun. Others I’m just crawling out of my skin. I’m not good at those events because I’m awkward. But this time I kind of feel peaceful at the notion of not going.”
It all started back in August, when Brittany Aldean thanked her parents for not changing her gender during her ‘tomboy phase’ in an Instagram clip.
“Lmao!! Im glad they didn’t too, cause you and I wouldn’t have worked out,” her husband responded within her comments section.
Morris slammed Brittany, 33, over the post, tweeting, “It’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell your clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie.”
Brittany later responded to Morris with, “Karen Morris. Thanks for calling me Barbie.”
Jason and his PR firm The GreenRoom parted ways after 17 years following Brittany’s post, which many followers deemed “transphobic.”
During her interview, Morris was asked if she regretted commenting on Aldean’s post.
Morris responded, “No, I just shot it off. I hate feeling like I need to be the hall monitor of treating people like human beings in country music. It’s exhausting. But there’s 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. It just becomes normal for people to behave like that.”
“I don’t have feelings of kindness when it comes to humans being made fun of for questioning their identity, especially kids,” she added. “The whole ‘When they go low, we go high’ thing doesn’t work with these people. Any resistance movement is not done with kind words. And there’s a lot worse things I could’ve called her.”
Maren Morris should just stay home! And don’t try and run down Country Music. If she’s not comfortable in her own skin she should make changes to her own life.
