Itâs turning out to be a big weekend for country newcomer Maren Morris. The âMy Churchâ singer is nominated in four categories at the 2017 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Best Country Album (Hero), Best Country Song (âMy Churchâ) and Best Country Solo Performance (âMy Churchâ), so itâs no wonder that she made her way out to Los Angeles early to soak up the experience.
The first-time Grammy nominee visited the set of The Talk on Thursday (Feb. 9) to perform her biggest hit, âMy Church.â Prior to her performance, the Texas native took a few moments to talk with hosts Sharon Osbourne and Julie Chen about her excitement in seeing Beyonce and Adele at the Grammy Awards and where she was when she got news of her nominations.
âI was asleep,â Maren said. âTheyâre announced really early. But my mom called me and she was like âYouâre nominated for four.â I didnât need coffee that day.â
That wasnât all for Maren. Later in the evening, the ââ80s Mercedesâ singer headed out on the town to performâalong with The Chainsmokers, who shared the stage with Daya and Wiz Khalifaâat The Belasco Theater for a Spotify-hosted party to celebrate the Grammy nominees in the Best New Artist category.
Maren, decked out in a black crop top, black-pearl encrusted pants and a black choker, performed her songs âMy Church,â ââ80s Mercedes,â âHow Itâs Done,â and âRich,â to an amped-up crowd that included celebrities Big Sean, Charlie Puth, Jason Mraz, Sophie Beem, Maia Mitchell, Noah Cyrus, Leon Bridges and many more.
Not a bad start to a weekend that could find the newcomer walking away with four Grammy Awards. Tune in to the 2017 Grammy Awards to see if Maren can sweep all four categories on Sunday, February 12, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
