GIRL
Yeah, Maren Morris did pose for Playboy, and she’s not sorry.
She also did an interview – did you know those were in that magazine? And most of it is about her career, and learning to love herself, and understanding that vulnerability isn’t a flaw.
She talks about those body shamers and slut shamers on social media: “Anytime someone is courageous or doesn’t try to blend in, it pisses people off.”
She says body shamers are asking to be shut down and she doesn’t regret a single time she’s done it.
Oh yeah, and she’s topless in several photos. She was inspired, she says, by Dolly Parton, who shocked the world when she graced the cover of the magazine in 1978. Other artists, too. “So many of the moves Dolly made in her career were about bucking the status quo, especially when it came to sexuality and gender norms within country music,” she says. “As a woman in country music—as a woman in any genre—it always fascinated me. So when I heard this magazine wanted to interview and photograph me, I thought, Okay, I’ve seen a lot of wonderful spreads you guys have done with artists I love, such as Halsey, so what the hell?”
