NOW WHAT?
We have no fucking idea.
COUNTRY'S NEWEST DISRUPTOR
Three chords and some truth you may not be ready for.
AI IS ALREADY EATING YOUR LUNCH

Nashville breakout and trophy magnet Maren Morris, whose “GIRL” recently became the first single by a female solo act to hit #1 at Country radio in 18 months, has inked an admin deal with Jody Gerson’s UMPG.
The singer/songwriter’s 2016 Columbia Nashville debut set, HERO, is platinum, while several singles have soared: “My Church” is double platinum, “80s Mercedes” and “I Could Use a Love Song” are platinum and the playful “Rich” is gold. Then came #1 Pop monster and Grammy-nominated Interscope smash “The Middle,” which she co-created with Zedd and Grey. Morris’ sophomore set, GIRL, had the biggest country streaming debut yet by a female artist. In between those milestones have been, you know, lots of CMAs and ACMs and other glittering initials.
