Maren Morrishas undergone a seriously stunning transformation.
Morris actually spent her childhood inArlington, Texas, and her younger years sound super idyllic.
And just like all the greats, Maren Morris started making music when she was young.
But it was when Morris got her first guitar that her lifecompletelychanged.
She also can be seen wearing zebra pants in another picture (really?
), and what looks to be platform Converse sneakers in another.
The fact that Morris was once an unrepentant ’90s child makes her all the more relatable.
Perhaps some of those'90s fashion trends will finally come back in style, too.
But for Morris, spending her free time practicing her craft was what she wanted to do.
“I did choir, soccer, some theater,” she recalled in an interview with the magazine.
“The only weird thing about my life was that I was playing honky-tonks on the weekends.”
Given that Morris started doing this when she was only 11 years old, that made herquitethe precocious youngster.
Thealbumconsisted of 10 songs most of which Morris wrote herself and featured a very angsty-looking Morris on the cover.
Obviously, the record wasn’t as successful as the albums Morris would record when she got older.
Who else can boast such a successful feat at that age?
Still, before she finally got her big break, she had to deal with some serious rejection.
“It’s full circle, because I was rejected fromThe Voice.
I was rejected fromAmerican Idol and I’m happier for it now.”
How’s that for some 20/20 hindsight?
Since plenty ofstars get rejected fromAmerican Idol, Morris is in good company.
“She showed me around her publishing office,” she shared.
She added that this was quite the dream job, so she started doing it herself.
Initially, she spent her time writing songs for other artists, like Tim McGraw.
I’m not sending this to anybody.'"
Morris was right to go with that instinct, too.
Hurd also shared apostcelebrating the news, clearly happy with the development in their romance.
And from the looks of it, the wedding was picture perfect.
“We just want it to feel like a party,” she revealed.
“We don’t want it to feel stuffy, or have this long 18-course dinner.”
Who doesn’t love margaritas and Motown, anyway?
It certainly appears as though Morris got the wedding that she hoped for.
Congrats, you two!
As she toldRolling Stonein an interview, Morris has had to remind herself to trust her gut more often.
“Because that came out of a part of your brain that was being unhinged.”
In an interview withEsquire,Morris explained why she felt it was important to form an all-female country band.
“I feel like little girls will hear the Highwomen and be changed by it,” she revealed.
Morris also added that she has a soft spot for women.
“I’ve always been a girl’s girl,” she continued.
“I’ve just always been surrounded by women.”
That’s a pretty powerful statement, and we’re absolutely here for all of it.
“See you in 2020, little one.”
She also showed off a photo of her baby bump, alongside her husband, Ryan Hurd.
If you’re curious, here’sthe real meaning of Maren Morris' baby name.
Congratulations on your bundle of joy, Maren and Ryan!
What a stunning transformation she’s undergone!
