Country music star Maren Morris has opened up about her first relationship with a woman after coming out as bisexual in 2024.

The singer, unfortunately, didn’t have nice things to say about the experience, branding the brief relationship “f-cked up.”

Maren Morris shared that within weeks of their casual romance falling apart, the unidentified woman resorted to lies and even threatened to destroy her reputation.

Maren Morris Says Her First Experience With A Woman Was ‘Pretty F-cked Up’

In a video shared on her TikTok page on Wednesday, Morris spoke about her bisexual journey, recounting her “depressing” experience dating a woman for the first time.

“I briefly was seeing a woman, and I was not looking for anything serious,” she said per Page Six. “I feel like I’m at a point in my life right now where I don’t have that to give.”

The singer said she “was very clear” about what she wanted from the relationship because she’s “all about communication,” adding that the unidentified woman responded, “‘Oh, totally. I’m down.'”

However, according to Morris, things quickly went awry: “I’m not kidding, within like, three weeks of this completely falling apart, it was lies, threats to my reputation and borderline extortion.”

“It was pretty f-cked up. And for that to be my first experience, it was just so depressing,” she continued, before adding she is “just really cool being alone” now.

The Country Star Revealed The Advice She Got From Friends In The Lesbian Community

Speaking further about the “f-cked up” relationship, Morris shared that her friends from the lesbian community told her it was not an unusual experience, hinting that it was to be expected when one starts dating women.

“‘You start seeing women, and one is going to almost ruin your life,’” Morris recalled a pal of hers saying, per Page Six. “‘We’ve all been there. You just have to push through.’”

The singer then asked her fans, “Is that a thing?” while chuckling in disbelief at the advice she received.

Morris captioned the video “bi trauma.”

Fans of the star also advised her to stay strong, with one writing, “Every other one will be crazy, but hang in there. When you are ready, it will happen. You have to be good being alone first.”

Maren Morris Recently Slammed Trump Voters

Morris’ comments about her first experience dating a woman come shortly after she went viral for her scathing criticism of people who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential elections.

In a TikTok video, the 35-year-old said she has little patience for those who continue to back the president.

She criticized what she described as loyal “triple Trumpers,” arguing that voters ultimately bear responsibility for the political situation they helped create.

“You did vote for this,” she said. “He is a dementia ridden, diaper-clad, cornball, ex-TV host … you voted for this, and you got bamboozled. This is literally the result of ploying and voting for losers.”

Morris has long been vocal about politics and how those views have shaped her experience in the country music industry. Earlier this year, the “Chasing After You” singer reflected on how her career has unfolded alongside major political shifts in the United States.

The Singer Reflects On Career Success Amid A Politicized Country Music Scene

In a January TikTok, Morris explained that her breakthrough single, “My Church,” brought her major success when it was released in 2016. The song gained heavy country radio play and later earned her a Grammy Award.

But the timing of that success coincided with Trump’s first presidential victory, which she said made the atmosphere around her career feel increasingly political.

“My entire, like, success of my first record was under this first year of Trump’s reign. So weirdly everything felt very political, even though, like, no one cared that much before,” she noted.

Her debut album, “Hero,” arrived just months before the 2016 election, and Morris said the industry climate changed noticeably afterward.

According to the singer, the past decade of her career has largely taken place during a period defined by the Trump presidency, the administration of Joe Biden, and Trump’s return to the political spotlight, which has made the country music space “very politicized.”

Maren Morris Embraces Her Queer Identity, Shares Pride Celebration With Fans

Beyond politics, Morris has long been outspoken about her progressive beliefs, frequently criticizing conservative politics and right-leaning media while advocating for causes like LGBTQ+ rights and racial justice.

Last June, she celebrated her first Pride since coming out as bisexual, reflecting on her journey amid a country music scene she has called “toxic” in the past. Morris shared the milestone with her Instagram followers, writing, “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy Pride!”

Previously married to fellow country singer Ryan Hurd, 39, the couple shares a five-year-old son, Hayes Andrew Hurd. Morris has said she “always knew” she was attracted to both men and women but had never publicly discussed it.

In an interview with The Zoe Report, she explained that her straight relationships over the past 15 years, combined with the demands of her music career and life in Nashville, had kept her from coming out sooner.

“I never felt brave enough to talk about it,” she said. In June 2024, she finally embraced her truth. “That was just a facet of me that I didn’t think I wanted private anymore,” Morris said.

She added, “I wanted to be able to connect with my fans and my queer community. Especially in a time where you’re in this free-for-all post-divorce reckoning, community has been so necessary for me and life-saving. Being honest and being vulnerable is the only way that you find community.”
