Maren Morris Speaks Out after Fan Groping Incident at Meet-and-Greet
The 35-year-old singer opened up after her Grand Rapids, Michigan, performance, writing: “Hi y’all. Tonight’s show was so fun, but someone grabbed my ass during meet-and-greet before the show.” Despite the violation of personal space, Morris assured fans she would keep hosting these private moments. “I’m going to continue them because one person shouldn’t ruin it for everyone,” she said, emphasizing her belief in authentic interaction.
She reminded concertgoers that while she enjoys meeting fans, there are boundaries: “Please know I’m there to connect, share, hug, all the things but please don’t override someone’s personal space. Love you.”

The album itself has deep personal roots. Speaking to People in March, Morris revealed the project felt “cathartic” after her divorce from fellow musician Ryan Hurd. “I feel like if it doesn’t feel like a risk, it’s probably not worth doing,” she explained, adding that the process involved “a lot of ugly crying, a lot of manic laughter, the whole spectrum.”
Despite the end of her five-year marriage, Morris has remained committed to co-parenting their son Hayes. On Chelsea Handler’s podcast in June, she reflected on how she and Hurd moved forward: “We’re neighbors, and I’m just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other’s s–t, and it’s better for the two of us if we’re getting along.”
Through it all, Morris continues to balance the demands of touring, personal healing, and motherhood. And even after experiencing a deeply disrespectful moment on tour, her response reflects resilience: she will not let one person diminish the joy of performing and connecting with the fans who stand by her.
