Maren Morris, the 34-year-old singer-songwriter, recently experienced an unexpected wardrobe malfunction while performing at Willie Nelson’s Fourth of July picnic in New Jersey. The incident, involving a denim skirt with a severe side slit, led to an unplanned reveal, but Morris handled it with her characteristic humor and resilience, told Page Six.
The video of the onstage mishap quickly spread online, catching the attention of fans and media alike. Morris addressed the situation head-on with a playful TikTok post on Tuesday, July 16. “Hey guys did anything weird happen today?!?!” she wrote over a video of herself looking around nonchalantly. The clip was humorously set to the soundtrack of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s 2020 hit “WAP.”
Adding to the fun, Morris captioned the video, “I think I’ll frame the skirt,” and commented, “Like, I’ve given birth. Nothing embarrasses me anymore.” Her lighthearted response resonated with many, showcasing her ability to laugh at herself and move on from the incident.
Morris also took this opportunity to promote her upcoming five-track EP, “Intermission,” set to release on August 2. The EP includes previously released singles “Cut!” featuring Julia Michaels and a new track titled “I Hope I Never Fall in Love.” In a recent Instagram video, Morris shared insights about the latter song, stating, “It’s pretty self-explanatory from the title, having just gone through a giant breakup. Just not wanting to go down that path again, and wanting to keep things casual, and really just lean into the ‘situationship’ of it all.”
The song, produced by Evan Blair, came about 10 months after Morris filed for divorce from fellow songwriter Ryan Hurd. The couple shares a 4-year-old son, Hayes. In her October 2 filing, Morris’ lawyers cited “irreconcilable differences,” stating that the couple was “unable to live together successfully as husband and wife.”
Morris’ candidness about both her personal life and professional endeavors continues to endear her to fans. Her ability to turn a potentially embarrassing situation into a moment of levity and promotion highlights her resilience and sense of humor.
For those interested, the video of Morris addressing her wardrobe malfunction is available online, and anticipation builds for the release of her new EP next month.
