Maren’s 5 nominations include; Female Vocalist Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Single Of The Year. Maren has double nominations in the Album Of The Year, and Single Of The Year as she is not only the artist, but also a producer on the album, and song. Her ACM nomination as New Female Vocalist Of The Year already produced an ACM win for Maren as she was announced as the winner several weeks ago. You can see if Maren adds to her total this Sunday at the 52nd Annual ACM Awards when they air live from Las Vegas on CBS TV.

  Maren Morris talks about the pride of making her album Hero. (:27)
“We created something that we thought was beautiful but you know I think even if no one is ever heard this album we’re still just as proud of it because we completed it and it’s something that we had to do for her own well emotional well-being. I don’t we’re just all…everyone, all the co-writers, busbee–my co-producer, Brad Hill, just the whole team were all excited. My parents especially.”

  Maren Morris talks about her ACM nominated song “My Church.” (:35)
“My song ‘My Church’ has, I mean where do I even begin, it’s just, it’s changed my life in so many ways because you know I’m a new artist getting to hear their song on the radio. I’m getting to see the reaction of the audience when I start that first chord of it, and you know, it’s given me a job basically, it’s given me a career, and a platform, and I feel like I’ve gotten to reach so many more people because of the emotional resonance of that song, and so it’s changed my life in so many ways.”
