Maren Morris talks importance of more diversity in country music: 'So much room to grow'
Fox News
Maren Morris appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday where she shared her wish for country music to become more diverse.
The topic came up as DeGeneres, 63, was applauding Morris for using social media to speak out against racial injustice and also share support for members of the LGBTQ community. The 30-year-old performer said she's "done so much of my own homework" in recent years but was particularly reminded of the significance to call out injustice following George Floyd's May 2020 death. "I'm a White woman in country music. I already sort of have this leg up and even though there is a huge disparity between men and women in our genre, there is even more of a disparity between White women and Black women trying to be in country music. There are so many Black women and men who adore country music and don't feel like the door is open for them even a crack," Morris said.More Related News
