Meet Maren Morris, the country-pop sensation who’s embracing a fresh chapter of independence, both on and off the stage.
Picture this: it’s a Thursday, and she’s dropping an emotional bombshell—a cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself.” But here’s the kicker: it’s not just any Thursday, it’s Singles Awareness Day.
Why this song? Well, according to Morris, it’s all about leaning into the raw vulnerability of the lyrics.
She’s recently parted ways with her partner, singer Ryan Hurd, and she’s diving headfirst into the single life.
“Being single is like a rollercoaster ride,” she shares. “There are highs of self-discovery and lows of loneliness, but ultimately, it’s a journey worth taking.”
And guess what? You’ll catch her sultry rendition of “Dancing With Myself” in a new Visible Wireless ad.
Why Visible? Because they’re all about embracing independence, and that’s exactly what Morris is doing right now.
“I’m all about owning my space and enjoying this chapter of singleness,” she adds with a grin.
Now, picture this: Morris pouring her heart and soul into the video shoot for the cover. They chose Grimey’s, a legendary record store in Nashville, for its nostalgic significance.
It’s where Morris first planted her roots in the city, so you can imagine the flood of emotions. “I danced like nobody’s watching,” she chuckles.
“I felt so connected to the song—it was like a therapy session on the dance floor.”
Recording the cover was a breeze for Morris. “I’m past the point of trying to prove myself,” she says with a shrug.
“This time, it’s all about the emotion, about keeping the song’s heart intact.”
But wait, there’s more! Morris is cooking up a brand new album—a departure from what she initially planned.
“Life threw me a curveball, and I had to hit reset,” she explains.
“I’m back in the studio, collaborating with my favorite people, and the result? Well, let’s just say it’s unlike anything you’ve heard from me before.”
And what about those rumors of her leaving country music behind? Morris sets the record straight: “I’ve always danced on the edge of genres,” she clarifies.
“This album might lean towards alternative and pop, but the country will always be in my DNA.”
As for her fans, Morris hopes they’ll feel every beat of her cover and ad—empowered, vulnerable, and ready to dance like nobody’s watching.
“This is me, owning my story and making it my own,” she declares with a smile. And with that, Maren Morris ushers in a new era of independence, one song at a time.
