Maren Morris has had a lot of crossover success thanks to songs like “The Middle” and “The Bones,” which has earned her the title of “Variety’s” 2020 Crossover Artist of the Year.
“The Bones” put Maren over the edge this year, with the song hitting number one not only on the country charts, but also on the AC and Hot AC charts, and also made it to the Top 15 on the Top 40 chart.
“The song’s had quite a journey, and for it to peak a pandemic is ironic and satisfying, because I think it’s become an anthem for people during a really tough year,” she shares. “I’ve had so many people over the last several months tell me that that song has been meaningful in a worldly way to them, not just about a relationship, but their relationship to their country and to the rest of the world.”
She adds, “It’s rung in a bigger sense than just a marriage — it’s become a blanket prayer toward everything that we’re siphoning through right now.”
