American singer Maren Morris has not confirmed her presence at the 56th CMA Awards on November 10 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The famous country singer has earned a nomination for the CMA, though reports suggest that Maren may miss this year's award ceremony.

Per media reports, Maren was not comfortable being in the same room with Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany, after they had an ugly dispute over Brittany's controversial comments. During a conversation with the Los Angeles Times, the Bones singer claimed that she was not feeling at home, though she was proud of her label getting nominated. Maren's recent album "Humble Quest" has been nominated in the Album of the Year category for the CMA Awards 2022.

On the other hand, Maren's fellow country singer, Jason Aldean, has also been nominated for his duet with Carrie Underwood, If I Didn't Love You. Maren said that she always felt uncomfortable attending such events and was peaceful this time since she decided not to attend.





The feud between Brittany and Maren sparked after the former posted an Instagram clip thanking her parents for not letting her change her gender during her tomboy phase. Commenting on the post, Jason had said that he, too, was thankful that it didn't happen. Otherwise, things wouldn't have worked out between the couple. Many fans condemned Brittany's post, categorizing it as transphobic.

Following the outrage, Maren slammed Brittany in a tweet, in which the 33-year-old said it was easy not to be a "scumbag human" and asked her to zip. The outrage also caused Jason to end his relationship with PR firm The GreenRoom, with whom he had been associated for the past 17 years. While speaking to LA Times, Maren re-iterated her stand and said that it was easy to be transphobic, homophobic, and racist in the culture of country music. She added that she was exhausted from being the "hall monitor" in her genre.
