Maren Morris thinks Beyonce<\/a> has had a “great” impact on country music.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maren Morris has heaped praise on Beyonce<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old singer loves seeing mainstream stars embrace country music and Maren has admitted to being a big fan of Beyonce<\/a>‘s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album, which she released in 2024.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Observer newspaper, Maren explained: “It\u2019s great when people come in and obviously have such a deep respect for the lore and the roots of country music, which people of colour started.<\/p>\n

“Beyonce<\/a> telling the history of that in a correct way was so important.”<\/p>\n

Maren believes some critics of the recent trend have overlooked the evolution of country music.<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘My Church’ hitmaker – who was married to country music star Ryan Hurd from 2018 until 2024 – said: “It\u2019s like, do people remember that that happened? That listen to mainstream country music now? We\u2019ve been doing this for a very long time. Or at least, really bad*** artists have.”<\/p>\n

\nMaren also hailed music icons Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton as “real outlaws”.<\/p>\n

\nThe award-winning star explained: “These people are famous for this long and this globally for a reason, and it\u2019s not just because they\u2019re from the south. It\u2019s because they have an identity and they stand up for the marginalised. They were real outlaws.<\/p>\n

\n“If there\u2019s any crisis [in country music], I think it\u2019s that the people that have an issue with any of that forget that their heroes were talking about that stuff before they were born.<\/p>\n

\n“I hope [audiences] hear themselves in it, whether it\u2019s a past self or who they want to be.”<\/p>\n

\nMaren previously confessed to being wowed by Beyonce’s country music.<\/p>\n

\nThe singer is impressed that Beyonce has been able to make such a seamless transition between different musical genres.<\/p>\n

\nMaren – whose music is rooted in the country genre – told E! News: “I feel like she’s always been genre-less, but I think the leaning into country elements and sort of reclaiming country music back to black people because they created the genre is such a statement.<\/p>\n

\n“Rhiannon Giddens playing banjo on ‘Texas Hold \u2018Em’, which is such an amazing statement in itself.”<\/p>\n
