I\u2019m very honored that my record is nominated. But I don\u2019t know if I feel [at] home there right now,\u201d Morris said in an interview with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/music\/story\/2022-09-20\/maren-morris-brittany-jason-aldean-cmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Los Angeles Times<\/a>. \u201cSo many people I love will be in that room, and maybe I\u2019ll make a game-time decision and go. But as of right now, I don\u2019t feel comfortable going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/07\/brittany-aldean-has-nothing-to-apologize-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">controversy<\/a> between Morris and Aldean started after the latter posted a video reel on Instagram in late August showing herself putting on makeup with the caption, \u201cI\u2019d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The innocent comments evoked the ire of Morris, who in a tweet called Aldean \u201ca scumbag human\u201d and \u201cInsurrection Barbie,\u201d referencing the Aldean couple\u2019s previously expressed support for former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Not backing down in the face of an unhinged, left-wing mob, Aldean has since doubled down on her defense of minors, saying that \u201c[a]dvocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it \u2018gender affirming care,\u2019 is one of the worst evils\u201d and \u201cchildren should not be allowed to make these life-changing decisions at such a young age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During her interview with the L.A. Times, Morris went on to defend her labeling of Aldean as \u201cInsurrection Barbie,\u201d claiming that the nickname is justified because the Aldeans \u201ctotally partook\u201d in the \u201cwhole conspiracy theory peddling of Jan. 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have feelings of kindness when it comes to humans being made fun of for questioning their identity, especially kids,\u201d she said. \u201cThe whole \u2018When they go low, we go high\u2019 thing doesn\u2019t work with these people. Any resistance movement is not done with kind words. And there\u2019s a lot worse things I could\u2019ve called her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the \u201cCircles Around This Town\u201d singer didn\u2019t just limit her belligerent remarks to the Aldean family. Within the same interview, Morris also went out of her way to trash the country music industry as a whole, asserting that it\u2019s \u201ca very insidious culture of people feeling very comfortable being transphobic and homophobic and racist, and that they can wrap it in a joke and no one will ever call them out for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate feeling like I need to be the hall monitor of treating people like human beings in country music,\u201d she whined, adding that it all \u201cgot worse\u00a0\u2014 irreparable, almost\u201d after Trump got elected in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there are people in country music that want it to be niche,\u201d Morris continued. \u201cThey don\u2019t want it to expand. They don\u2019t care about it becoming more inclusive. It\u2019s theirs, and everyone else is an other, or woke, or whatever. That\u2019s sad to me, because I feel like country music at its core is people\u2019s real stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Morris Can\u2019t See Past Her Elitism<\/h2>\n<p>The most revealing aspect of Morris\u2019s interview isn\u2019t necessarily her feelings of discomfort with attending an upcoming awards show, but her slander of the country music industry and assertion that she sees herself as its \u201chall monitor.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Similar to how Hollywood celebrities look down on middle America with utter disdain, Morris\u2019s elitist mindset doesn\u2019t allow her to comprehend how people could possibly see issues differently than she does, and ultimately, the idea that \u201cthey all must be evil\u201d becomes the only logical explanation. Yes, the country music world encapsulates a different culture than those found in other genres and Hollywood. But it\u2019s all for the better. <\/p>\n<p>Country music is a realm filled with people who embrace traditional American values, such as a love for God and country. The human beings that fill the rows of George Strait and Miranda Lambert concerts are the same ones who would pull over on the side of the road to help you change a flat tire or ask how you\u2019re doing when passing you on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n<p>For many in the fandom, country music remains one of the last places to go to escape the secular, neo-Marxist rot plaguing so many other facets of American culture. But just like any other leftist, Morris can\u2019t leave well enough alone.<\/p>\n<p>To her, country music is simply a piece on a chessboard that needs to be ideologically conquered. In this view, it\u2019s nothing but a backward, hillbilly-infested community that should be reprogrammed and perfected to suit the very pagan religion that convinces her chemically and surgically mutilating the bodies of minors is an act of kindness to be celebrated and encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if Morris actually bothered to listen instead of demonize, she\u2019d understand that many within the country music community whom she openly scorns actually sympathize with these children and pray that their parents get them the mental help they so clearly need rather than having their bodies destroyed beyond repair. But as is the case with most out-of-touch elitists, I wouldn\u2019t hold my breath for her.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Shawn Fleetwood is a Staff Writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
