“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.
Even Florida Georgia Line, Charlie Daniels and Charley Pride caught the spirit during Morris’ performance as they were up on their feet, lipsyncing along.
