Is Maren Morris a Pop Star?

This Greatest Pop Stars podcast looks at Maren Morris' career and if she ever made the jump to pop stardom during her rise and fall in country.

For the past decade, Maren Morris has been one of the most recognizable names in country music — with award-winning albums, a really striking voice and presence and some of the best and biggest singles the genre has produced in recent years. Along the way, we relive the major moments in Morris’ career, from becoming a late-developing but quickly phenomenal country star in the mid-’10s, to reaching a peak crossover moment in the late decade with the massive hits “The Middle” and “The Bones,” to ultimately falling out with the country industry (for typically BS reasons) and deciding to largely leave that world behind. And we also share our feelings about her brand-new, pop-focused album Dreamsicle, and whether Maren 2.0 will be able to find the same kind of audience that all-too-briefly made her one of Nashville’s biggest stars.
