Maren Morris Leaves a ‘Small Town’ Behind in Her New Music Videos on September 15, 2023 at 3:10 pm Us Weekly

Published

Maren Morris won’t try that in a small town – because it is burning to the ground.

On Friday, September 15, Morris, 33, shared the videos for “The Tree” and “Get the Hell Out of Here,” the two songs from her new EP, The Bridge. In the visual for “The Tree,” the country music star finds herself in a miniature model small town – literally. She walks through the recreation of a stereotypical country town, with signs reading “Don’t Tread On Me,” “Go Woke Go Broke” and “I Believe in God & Guns.” At the center of the town is a dead tree, and after trying to water the nearby plants, Morris decides she’s had enough.

“I’m done fillin’ a cup with a hole in the bottom,” she sings. “And screamin’ the truth to a liar / Spent ten thousand hours tryna fight it with flowers And the tree was already on fire / Yeah, the tree was already on fire.”

As Morris tries to water the plants around the tree, the tangled roots wrap around her feet and prick her skin with thorns. As she sings, “the rot at the roots is the root at the problem,” and recognizing that there is no salvaging this dead garden, she lights a match. Yet, she realizes that the tree is already ablaze, and she decides it’s time to go.

Morris crosses a bridge to leave the small town as the tree burns. The fire continues to burn and consume the village, as seen in the music video for “Get The Hell out of Here,” the second track on The Bridge. In that video, Maren sings in a green pasture, safe and sound while the “Small Town” gets buried in ash.

She’s got it goin’ on! Maren Morris is one stylish gal.  Through the years, the “My Church” singer has blessed Us with memorable red carpet style statements.  In May 2023, Morris managed to pull of two trends with one look at the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City. She turned heads in […]

“‘The Tree’ is about a toxic ‘family tree’ burning itself to the ground,” Morris said in a statement, according to Rolling Stone. The country music star added that halfway through, she “realize[d] it’s burning itself down without any of my help. This song evokes the pain of exhausting all your love and time for this person or ‘entity’ but realizing it’s just a draining, transactional relationship that isn’t nourishing in any healthy way. By the end of the song, I give myself permission to face the sun, plant new seeds where it’s safer to grow, and realize that sometimes there is greener grass elsewhere.”

The second song – “Get the Hell Out of Here,” is about Morris “quite literally [being] burned out,” she says in the statement. “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. I relinquish control of trying to change everyone’s mind or bad behavior and focus on my own power going forward. 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.’”

Sometimes America’s sweethearts go sour. From Morgan Wallen to The Chicks, the biggest names in country music have been at the center of some major controversies. Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer found themselves in hot water in the early 2000s after sharing their personal politics on a public stage. While performing across the […]

Morris announced the project on September 12. She said the two songs were “a tender duo and bridge to my next album.” Instead of saving the tracks for her next full-length, she realized “these two songs deserved a moment on their own – a story in their own right, written a day apart from each other.”

“These two songs are incredibly key to my next step because they express a very righteously angry and liberating phase of my life these last couple of years but also how my navigation is finally pointing towards the future, whatever that may be or sound like,” Morris said in the statement. “Honoring where I’ve been and what I’ve achieved in country music, but also freely moving forward.”

Standing her ground. Maren Morris is no stranger to receiving online criticism about her appearance, her parenting skills or even her career, but she’s not letting that get her down. “If it’s confusing to you, it’s because you think we’re ‘fighting’ over politics. We’re not. This isn’t political,” the “Middle” songstress tweeted in August 2022, […]

When Morris first posted a teaser for the two music videos, fans suspected she was shading her country music rival Jason Aldean. Aldean, 46, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his controversial song, “Try That in a Small Town.”

He and Morris clashed in August 2022 when he and his wife, Brittany Aldean, commented about transgender people. “I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase,” wrote Brittany, 36, a not-so-subtle dig at parents offering gender-affirming care to trans youth. Morris, a fierce LGBTQ+ ally, reacted by writing, “It’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human?”

Luckily, we’ve found one of the biggest bestsellers in the leggings category on Amazon, and with a stellar 10,000+ reviews, you know they’ve been well tested.

Why Charli D’Amelio Stormed Out of a Family Meeting on ‘The D’Amelio Show’ on September 27, 2023 at 4:05 am Us Weekly

The tension between the D’Amelio sisters escalated on The D’Amelio Show season 3 when Charli D’Amelio flipped out on sister Dixie D’Amelio over a joke about executing her dog, Rebel.

When Charli and Dixie met up with their parents, Marc and Heidi D’Amelio, for a family meeting, the girls voiced their concerns with each other after moving into a new house together.

“My problem is Charli’s fat dog. She’s a monster,” Dixie told her parents. Charli chimed in, saying, “I think there needs to be a talk about where food can be left in the house for her to not get it.”

Dixie explained that she had stored a box of cupcakes — nine of which were chocolate — high off the ground, but Rebel still got to them.

Overnight sensations! Charli D’Amelio and Dixie D’Amelio skyrocketed to fame thanks to their popularity on TikTok. Their success led to news that the social media stars and their parents, Marc and Heidi D’Amelio, would star in a reality show for Hulu in 2021. Marc and Heidi tied the knot in May 2000; they welcomed daughters […]

“I am very worried about her because she’s bigger than she’s ever been,” Heidi told her daughters. “We have to really talk about this and come up with a plan because she’s gonna die.”

Dixie whispered, “Execute her?” with a subtle laugh.

“What the f—k is wrong with you? That’s so mean,” Charli hit back. “You can’t put that out into the world.”

Heidi can be heard off camera saying, “Yeah, scratch that.”

“[The idea] of me killing her? OK. Yes, because I’m going to kill your dog,” Dixie told her sister sarcastically. “That’s what I was being serious about.”

Charli stormed out of the meeting while Dixie rolled her eyes and told Marc: “Charli’s a bitch.” Not wanting to get in the middle of his daughters, Marc wanted to diffuse the situation, revealing in his confessional that the family “can’t afford them not to be speaking.”

However, in her confessional, Dixie explained that the fight between the family was “not about Rebel at all.” But she was hesitant to reveal the real issues on the show.

In the previous D’Amelio Show episode — season 3, episode 3 — which was also released on Wednesday, Dixie made reference to “the whole parents situation” that “got dropped in my lap.” It’s unclear what went down between Marc and Heidi, but Dixie made it clear that it’s something she’s “not ready to talk about.”

Dixie made a second reference to something that went down between her parents during episode 4 as well.

“In the back of the car on the way to the Kids’ Choice Awards, seeing my parents happy pissed me off so much,” she said. “I had to deal with all of their issues and now they’re just fine.”

During Charli’s confessional, one of The D’Amelio Show producers alluded to a situation that occurred during “that three months of Dancing With the Stars.” Seemingly holding back tears, Charli said she “didn’t know where to begin,” before the episode came to an end.
