Not-so-mixed messages. Maren Morris got real about the less pleasant aspects of using social media amid her public spat with Brittany Aldean.
“I feel terrible, honestly, for kids that are growing up with social media,” the 32-year-old Grammy winner confessed during the Wednesday, September 21, episode of the “I’m Listening” podcast. “People can cowardly hide behind their phone screens. I totally feel for the kids that are dealing with that because I’m where I’m at and I still deal with that.”
She continued: “It never really ends, and it’s not whether you’re bullied as a public figure or a kid, you’re just always gonna face some sort of adversity or someone that’s trying to puncture your balloon of happiness.”
Morris didn’t specifically refer to her feud with Aldean, 34, which began in August after the latter shared a transphobic Instagram post. However, the “Detour” singer made it clear that she will never hesitate to speak her mind.
“I can sleep at night knowing that I’m always trying to be a better person,” she said on Wednesday. “I stand up for injustices when I see them, and then sometimes I know that it’s totally OK to not insert yourself into the fight. Sometimes you can silently support something as well. And that’s something you have to do for your own mental health.”
When it comes to her own mental state, Morris said that avoiding the comments section is “one of the best things I could’ve ever done” to stay in a positive headspace. “I don’t need to know,” she explained. “I’m doing my thing. I’m having a great time. If I posted a picture of it, it’s because I’m proud of it or I liked it or I was having fun while I was doing it. And I don’t necessarily need to know what everybody thinks about it.”
