We’ve Got Our Fingers Crossed For Maren Morris
Maren Morris is no stranger to award shows appreciating her work. Since the singer-songwriter rose to prominence in 2016, her music has been both loved and critically acclaimed.
At her very first Grammy Awards in 2017, the country queen was nominated for four awards.
