Terrific piece. I don’t know Maren Morris but after your article I will stream her music this morning while driving. You’re right that country music has always been a flag- waving Bubba Bros Club. Now with politics infiltrated into the art form, singer/songwriters who do not adhere to conservatism are being canceled. Just look at the frosty reception Lil Nas X got with his mega hit. The “boys” tried everything to “cancel” him and his song.
