Maren Morris Opens Up About Escaping Toxic Country Music Culture

Maren Morris explains her decision to distance herself from country music, citing the need to no longer tolerate and excuse bad behavior within the industry. She describes the culture as an "indoctrination" that discourages questioning and speaking out. Morris, who has been vocal against racism and transphobia, feels ostracized by some country music contemporaries. She recently released an EP that criticizes the culture of country music and is working on a new record with producer Jack Antonoff.
