As we told you, earlier this month Maren Morris spoke out about the pressure women feel to “snap back” after having a baby, and in the press room at the ACM Awards she discussed why she felt the need to speak out.
"I think because it was important for me to realize it," she said. "And I realized that if I am coming to grips with this realization, I can't be the only one."
She says new moms are “always extremely pressed to erase any evidence on our body that we had a child [and] that we housed a child for nine to 10 months,” noting how “unhealthy” that was. "That shouldn't be the goal to just sort of erase the fact that you had a kid,” she explains. “And I think that I'm really proud of where my body is right now, even if it's several pounds heavier," noting, "It's like I did something that half the population can't do, so I think that's pretty rad."
- ONE MORE THING! Maren also opened up about working on her new record, noting she’s “half way there,” and she has the “bulk of the songs written.” She describes it as a “really uplifting record,” noting, “I’ve written the most intimate songs." As for the sound, she says she's “coming back to this Texas rootsy style that I grew up in," offering, "it just feels like me but a very stripped down version of me, but it’s still extremely fun and energetic.”
- And.. following her big ACM wins Maren shared video of her grinding on her shirtless hubby Ryan Hurd. She captioned the clip, "This night ain’t real. 💀🙌🏼😭" Check it out to the right.
