Clarifying that she wants to continue to record songs, Maren explained, “But I think I needed to purposely focus on just making good music and not so much on how we’ll market it. A lot of the drama within the community, I’ve chosen to step outside out of it.”
In fact, she just released a two-song project titled The Bridge Sept. 15. Giving a glimpse into part one called “The Tree,” Maren wrote on Instagram in part, “Wrote this on the 10 year anniversary of my moving to Nashville. It’s about a toxic ‘family tree’ burning itself to the ground.”
Meanwhile, part two, dubbed “Get the Hell Out of Here,” is all about “the aftermath of the tree burning. Being quite literally burned out, this is a story of me feeling pulled in every direction, needing everyone else’s understanding and acceptance but my own and how self-destructive that ultimately became.”
Leaving her followers with words of encouragement, Maren shared, “Doing the right thing can feel lonely at times, but there are more friends than foes, so I finally quit making myself one of them.”
One of those friends just might be Cassadee Pope, who along with Maren slammed Brittany Aldean last summer while defending trans rights. For a total recap of their feud, keep scrolling…
