Maren Morris has shared heartwarming details about her coming out journey.
Back in June, the beloved singer-songwriter celebrated Pride Month by publicly coming out as bisexual.Β
“Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+ happy pride,” she wrote on Instagram.Β
The exciting message was posted alongside a series of images from her RSVP Redux tour in Phoenix, Arizona β which also included a snapshot of her holding and waving a Pride flag.
Since that fateful day, the ‘My Church’ singer has remained an open book about her journey and how her life has changed since coming out.
In a recent interview on Sophia Bush’s podcast Work in Progress, Morris revealed that she knew she was bisexual from a young age.
“It was something I always knew about myself. I think I’ve always known because, you know, every girl is different,” she explained.
“But in junior high and high school, I just remember being at sleepovers where maybe a ton of us girls, some of us are super close, some of us are just meeting each other for the first time, and you’re just like, ‘Okay, you’re cute.’
“And then you have this bond, and there’s something so tough to identify because women are just innately wonderful, and we’re lovely, and we just don’t do small talk. From like the age of eight to now, it’s really hard for me to delineate my sexual attraction or just my love of women.”

Morris went on to say that her feelings inspired the creation of her new queer anthem ‘Push Me Over,’ which she wrote with MUNA.
Elsewhere in her interview, the Humble Quest artist gave insight into why she decided to come out β revealing that it partly had to do with her publicly embracing her queer dating life and clarifying any fan confusion following the release of ‘Push Me Over.’
“I hate the confusion, and I felt like I wanted to celebrate it. And I just wanted to have everything out there. I think those are things that should be forward-facing for me,” she explained.
“I was like, my life is so open now; I’m not hiding any portion of myself. So, it was out of a true celebratory nature. It’s Pride Month. I also loved not doing a stupid press release.
“I was just like, ‘I’m going to put it in an Instagram caption on a tour photo.’ I liked keeping it light-hearted because it’s not a thing, for me, that needs like an entire spiel or article on.”
Before coming out as bisexual, Maren had consistently used her platform to champion the LGBTQIA+ community β ranging from shutting down anti-trans rhetoric and homophobia to raising money to protect local drag queens.
