Maren Morris takes jab at Trump supporters in TikTok video: ‘You voted for this and got bamboozled’
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Country singer Maren Morris spoke out on TikTok about supporters of Donald Trump, saying voters were misled. She also made comments about Pete Hegseth’s appearance.

Maren Morris blasts Trump voters on TikTok
In a video shared on Friday, March 6, Morris addressed supporters of Donald Trump, saying she had no patience for those who voted for him.
"I don't have forgiveness for the triple Trumpers or any of the Trumpers. You did vote for this.”
She described Trump as a former TV host and expressed frustration with the outcome of the election, suggesting, "You voted for this and you got bamboozled. This is literally the result of employing and voting for losers.”
Morris also made a lighthearted comment about Hegseth’s appearance. "Oh my God. Girl, his alcoholic sideburns. You're done."
The video was captioned, “sorry to empty the clip.” Known for hits like 'The Bones' and 'My Church,' Morris has long been recognized as one of country music’s more outspoken voices.
Morris has said she’s disappointed that music has become so political, even though she has found success with songs like 'My Church.' She isn’t afraid to share her opinions, saying that if people don’t agree with her, they might not enjoy her music, and that’s okay.
“If you don’t agree with me, you can’t enjoy my music because of my viewpoints? You’re absolutely allowed to do that,” she said. “But I am only here for an iteration of revolutions around the sun, a couple, and so I do feel like I have sacrificed a lot of my mental health, my financial standing, my family, just because I am so deeply concerned and uncomfortable with the weird status quo of country music.”
Maren Morris slams ‘toxic’ country music industry
Last June, Maren Morris celebrated her first Pride after coming out as bisexual. She had criticized parts of the country music industry in 2023, calling them “toxic.” In 2024, she told her Instagram followers, “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy pride!”
Morris was previously married to fellow country singer Ryan Hurd, and they have a five-year-old son, Hayes Andrew Hurd. She has said she always knew she was attracted to both men and women but kept it private.
She explained to 'The Zoe Report' that her straight relationships over the past 15 years, along with her music career and life in Nashville, made her feel too afraid to speak openly. In June 2024, she finally faced that fear.
She said she wanted to share this part of herself to connect with her fans and the queer community. After her divorce, she found honesty and vulnerability essential for building a supportive community.
Morris made this personal revelation after addressing her 2023 comments about leaving parts of the country music industry she called “toxic.” She told The New York Times Popcast that she used to feel she had to accept and explain bad behavior in the industry and laugh it off.
She added that after 2020, she couldn’t do that anymore and that many things about her changed that year. She said she couldn’t participate in the toxic aspects of the industry but didn’t want to say goodbye completely.
In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, she said she had thought about starting over but realized the industry was already changing on its own.
