Maren Morris clarifies why she had to remove herself from the 'toxic arms' of country music

Country music blew up in a big way this summer, with songs like Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” Luke Combs’ “Fast Car,” Oliver Anthony’s political hot rod “Rich Men North Of Richmond,” and Jason Aldean’s bigoted “Try That In A Small Town” consistently sitting atop the Billboard Hot 100. For some in the scene, though, this genre ascendence isn’t exactly something to celebrate.

“It’s just the music industry that I have to walk away from.” “I don’t want to say goodbye, but I really can’t participate in the really toxic arms of this institution anymore,” Morris said, specifying that there were always people protective of the genre’s traditions that had tried to push her out over her political perspective and poppier sound. “I couldn’t do this circus anymore of feeling like I have to absorb and explain people’s bad behaviors and laugh it off,” she continued.
