“Can I ge a hallelujah?,” belted out country star Maren Morris at the 50th Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday night (Nov. 2) from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
Backed by a full band, a choir and a twinkly background, the 26-year-old delivered a soulful rendition of the Hot 100 gem “My Church,” which appeared on her self-titled EP. In June, her country pop major label debut shot to No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, the first set to do so since Sam Hunt’s 2014 offering Montevallo.
