Maren Morris on Coachella Outfit, Glam & New Song ‘Bed No Breakfast’

The genre-blending style of Grammy-winning American singer-songwriter Maren Morris was on full display at Coachella this year.

On Sunday, she joined German DJ and producer Zedd on stage at the music festival for their 2018 hit “The Middle” — a high-energy pop anthem driven by a pulsing beat and infectious hook, anchored by Morris’ soulful, emotive vocals. The day before, she stepped into golden hour alongside conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic to sing her double-platinum breakout, “My Church,” backed by a gospel choir.

“I was nervous just because it’s such a different thing than I’m used to, that many players in the orchestra,” she said, in her tour bus backstage as she was getting ready to perform with Zedd. “But, I mean, I felt so held by all of the talent on that stage and the gospel choir. I didn’t feel lonely. Sometimes as an artist, you’re just kind of up there on your own, and that was just such a wall of emotion and sound behind me, so, I just felt really protected.”

She wore a metallic gold Paco Rabanne number for the occasion, glowing with the sunset. She works with stylist Dani Michelle.

“Yesterday was very ethereal,” she said of the look. “Hair was very bombshell. And I just wanted to feel goddess-like. Today feels like the evil twin,” she joked to laughs. She was surrounded by her glam team who were making last-minute touch-ups, with Kristine Studden on makeup and Amanda Lee on hair.

“Sex hair,” Morris said of her long, wavy locks — courtesy of Priscilla Valles’ extensions and Matt Rez behind the color.

But first came the dress, which inspired the dark shadow and nude, glossy lips for night two: archival Alexander Wang.

“I just put it on, and I felt like, ‘This feels like a moment with Zedd,’” she went on. Black and sheer, it featured dramatic fringe detailing that added movement on stage.

“It’s the last night of the weekend,” she continued. “I’m excited to dance around the stage tonight, and I don’t know, I just felt sexy and comfortable in it. Hopefully it won’t fall,” she said, as the dress was being adjusted.

Morris, now 35, was only 10 when she started singing in country bars, growing up in Arlington, Texas. She wrote, played guitar, and at the age of 15, released her first studio record, “Walk On,” through indie label Mozzi Blozzi.

But years of performing from such a young age took its toll, prompting her move to Nashville for a new chapter. There, she wrote songs for music artists like Kelly Clarkson and Tim McGraw — but “My Church” she kept for herself, self-releasing it on Spotify, which changed the course of her life. Blending country, gospel and soul influences, the song became an instant success and ultimately helped her land a deal with Columbia Nashville records.

Then came “Hero” in 2016, her major-label debut album. With “My Church” as the lead single, it reached number one on the Billboard country chart and number five on Billboard 200. It also brought her four Grammy nominations a year later, taking home “Best Country Solo Performance.” Tracks like “80s Mercedes” brought in pop and R&B sounds, while others like “Rich” had hip-hop-inspired cadences.

Now she’s in her next era — shaped by her personal life, following a divorce and coming out as bisexual. Her newest record “Dreamsicle,” out May 9, brought her a sense of peace, helping her ease anxieties she had been facing.

“[I was] all over the place, per usual,” she said, reflecting on her mental state during the making of the project. “Just all the feelings of breakup aftermath, holding down the fort for myself and my son, and picking the pieces back up, and learning to see the humor in things again and, yeah, just rebuilding.” She’s a mom to a 5-year-old, who she shares with ex-husband Ryan Hurd.

“It’s more producers on this record than I’ve had previously,” she revealed, “but it’s all still very me. It’s ambitious and emotional. It’s honest work.”

Her next single, “Bed No Breakfast,” is out Friday.

“[It’s] my cheeky little song about wanting personal space after personal closeness,” she later told press. “It’s about a right to your own comforts on your own terms, even while having some good-natured fun with somebody. Drunk girls don’t cry. They kick you out.”
