Controversy
skirted
Maren Morris skipped the red carpet
at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards on Wednesday night following her
feud with Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany.
The
singer shared in an interview with the Los Angeles Times in September that she
didn't feel comfortable going to the awards show following her dispute with
Brittany on social media. Maren called the country star's wife
"insurrection Barbie" and "a scumbag human" on Twitter
after Brittany made comments that were considered transphobic.
However,
the 32-year-old did ultimately attend the event, which took place at
Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Although she skipped the red carpet, where the
Aldeans posed for photographers, Maren and her husband Ryan Hurd were spotted
in the audience.
According
to People,
the couple arrived in time for the presentation of the Album of the Year award,
the only category Maren was nominated for. After she was beaten by Luke Combs,
Maren gave the musician a standing ovation before leaving the venue.
She
later posted a video on TikTok
showing her strutting down a hallway in a glitzy black dress and holding a
bottle of Champagne. The video, which featured Taylor Swift's song Karma, was
accompanied by the caption, "BYOB (bring your own bottle), CMA."

ABOUT the CMA
Awards:
The CMA Awards nominees
and winners are determined by the more than 6,000 industry professional
members of CMA, which when established in 1958 became the first trade
organization formed to promote an individual genre of music.
The first CMA
Awards Banquet and Show was held in 1967.
The following year,
the CMA Awards was broadcast on NBC television for the first time – making it
the longest running, annual music awards program on network television. The
show aired on NBC through 1971 and on the CBS Television Network from 1972
through 2005 before moving in 2006 to ABC, where it still airs today.
