• April 10, 1990
• Born and raised in the central Texas town Arlington, Maren Morris lived there right up until she moved to Nashville in 2012 to pursue her country music dream.
• Within six months of moving to Nashville, Morris had found herself a publisher. She received her first major credit when Tim McGraw recorded her song "Last Turn Home" for his 2014 Sundown Heaven Town album.
• She self-released five songs as an eponymous extended play, Maren Morris, on Spotify in August 2015. The success of Morris' EP attracted the interest of major labels, and she was signed to Columbia Nashville in September 2015. Her first major-label album, Hero, was released the following year to much critical and commercial acclaim.
• Morris was once roommates with Kree Harrison who finished as runner-up on the 12th season of Idol.
• Maren Morris married fellow country singer Ryan Hurd in Nashville on March 24, 2018 before guests that included the bride's friend Cassadee Pope.
  
  Morris wore a custom-made dress by local designer Cavanagh Baker, featuring a miniskirt in front and a long train in back. It was designed to pay homage to her mother Kellie's vintage wedding dress.
  
  Maren Morris filed for divorce on October 2, 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
• Morris has performed since the age of 10, when she would sing at chili cook-offs and festivals around Texas. "I would bring a boombox and a CD with karaoke tracks on it and sing from a truck bed," Morris recalled to Bustle. "But my dad bought me an acoustic guitar when I was 12 and taught me my first three chords. I taught myself the rest and then started writing on guitar shortly after that. So definitely picking up the guitar [was] when I felt like more than just a karaoke singer."
• In 2019, Morris formed The Highwomen along with Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile and Natalie Hemby. They released an eponymous album that year with the song "Redesigning Women," a look at modern womanhood.
• Morris is a staunch supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, and in 2022 she took Jason Aldean's wife Brittany to task after Brittany posted a makeup tutorial with the caption, "I'd really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase."
  
  Morris called her "Insurrection Barbie" in a tweet that got the attention of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who devoted a segment to the kerfuffle and called Morris a "lunatic." Morris responded by affectionately referring to her fans as "lunatics" and raising money for GLAAD.
• Morris identifies as bisexual, which she revealed in a June 9, 2024 Instagram post that read: "Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+"
