Maren Morris & Hozier Perform “The Tree” 👏 CMT Crossroads

[@jamjar5525]

I love hearing Hozier sing other people’s songs so we hear him use his voice differently. He’s perfection.

[@MeestiMoore]

She’s such a badass to sing this song on a country station before she leaves country music for good, bc I think this song is about that. Such an icon, I love it dude!

[@zelbernil3790]

yes to all the haters out there with no kindness for other people nor common sense, she has essentially said she's done with y'all & playing true country music to people who actually appreciate what true country is all about, which actually isn't about trucks, racism & homophobia

[@sashastratton]

​@@zelbernil3790I think you're spot on! If Johnny Cash was still around and performing, he'd do the same thing as Morris! Just my opinion! ❤

[@amyjohnson9753]

🤣

[@danielwaters191]

@zelbernil3790 find a quote from a country song that's racist and homophobic. And she's literally switching from a country label to a pop label, so yes she is leaving country music. Her star power was diminishing among fans of real country music so she bashed the entire community with baseless insults for attention.

[@Shaniatwain.F]

@@danielwaters191 Thank you for everything you do to keep us motivated; I'm so glad you realized it demonstrates that you're a true lover of country music. #genewatsonsongs

[@jadenicole_mcdonald]

Gives me chills every time she hits that 2nd verse “the tree was already on fire”. So gritty and soulful. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Shaniatwain.F]

I adore Maren's music and think she has what it takes to become a legend in the country music genre. However, I must express my gratitude for your support, which I greatly value. #genewatsonsongs

[@ellenwhitcomb5909]

My favorite part!!! Amazing

[@studiocelestedesign]

I just looked up the lyrics, and then the purpose for the song, and I could NOT HAVE MORE RESPECT and admiration for the woman that Maren is. What a baller. And the song and her vocals are stunning. So glad that Hozier keeps introducing me to the best-hearted and talented people on the planet. Up Maren! Respect.

[@danielwaters191]

There's nothing respectable about her antics. She denigrated an industry and its fans for clout in the pop community.

[@Sarasstorytime22]

​@@danielwaters191she's standing for people that most of that industry walk all over.

[@danielwaters191]

@Sarasstorytime22 Florida Georgia line broke up because liberal Tyler Hubbard couldn't get along with conservative Brian Kelley. If liberals get walked all over in Nashville, then why is Tyler the one getting singles released to country radio and booked for big concerts and festivals while Brian's stuck playing gigs at fundraisers.

Need this for sure.

I'm so grateful KZbin recommended this video to me!

[@sharonpeppers3341]

I have this record. It's incredible. #MarenMorris is a wonderful singer/songwriter. A individual with courage and conviction. I will always be a fan. Digging her voice. And, the fact that she's a fellow #Texan and a woman makes it even better. Keep doing what you do Maren. I got your back.😊

[@kimr2352]

[@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815]

Love the harmonies on tthis interesting song from Maren enhanced by Hoziers ability to harmonise with the melody line. Gorgeous.

[@rachelpacholl7308]

Wow that was powerful. I’m not familiar with Maren and am just starting to learn more of Hozier’s music. To me this song represents the deconstruction and reconstruction I’ve gone through with my faith.

[@sashastratton]

Omg! I mean, I've loved her for a while, but I went through deconstruction and reconstruction of my faith, so ❤ I think you're exactly right! Great comparison!

A metaphor for my life... love it. You're not the only one...❤🫂

[@Zeldaslull4by]

You can tell Maren and Hozier are actually friends, because you can see him start to get emotional at around the 00:20 mark.

[@miajoelle]

They both sound incredible together. I love her new song.

She is incredible

Maren is QUEEN. Pave the way baby!!!!!!!!

This performance is permanently tattooed on my brain.

[@NotAMuse]

Here to support Maren, what a great performance for such a beautiful song. Good luck and I will follow you wherever you go. ❤

[@zelbernil3790]

The Tree is the toxic cesspool of the current country music scene. She's not actually quitting country music she's planting the seeds of country elsewhere for people whose ears & hearts are far kinder & more open to the true values of country music. Those who refuse to grow can stay & deal with the rot.

[@sashastratton]

I was thinking the same thing! I mean, we can see a beautiful blend of country music with Brandi Carlile and so many others that back up what you're saying. I hate seeing people act like she's given up on country music as a whole while not really grasping what she is actually talking about, IMO. Like you brilliantly said "planting the seeds" and the rest in your comment said❤ that's how I've perceived her intentions. Bc she's not quitting but is doing like the quote "they thought they would bury us. They didn't know we were seeds" I'm going off the top of my head so I hope that came out right!

[@sashastratton]

"They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds."

[@danielwaters191]

​@sashastratton no one tried to bury Maren Morris. She perceives persecution where it doesn't exist because she's an egomaniac. In that regard she's no better than Trump.

[@zelbernil3790]

@@danielwaters191 sure say it enough maybe we'll come to believe it too 🙄

[@danielwaters191]

@zelbernil3790 find me a quote where someone is persecuting her

The gravel in Maren’s voice from 1:29 - 1:33 gave me chills! 😮

MS MORRIS 👍 love this song !!!! So nashville !!! 👍

[@ijustexisted222]

I am so obsessed with this song!! I'm even learning it on guitar to cover it for something where this song needs to be heard. 😉 My neighbors are probably getting tired of me belting it, but it's just so good. Hell, I lived it. Thank you for this one! It beautiful and very necessary! You aren't the only one! ❤🫂🙏

SUCH A FORCE! SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@DoubleDBlogXX]

Maren is so beautiful and talented!

[@BryanP10]

I can't believe these have been out for 8 months and they just popped up on my youtube page. Beautifully done. Hozier is a huge favorite of mine and now I have a new (to me) artist to listen to.

Whaaat the…. Where did that vocal moment come from?….I’ve never heard her do that before! Another hit song with Hozier 👍🏼👍🏼

Same here. I didn’t know she could do that. And they sound incredible together here.

[@sashastratton]

Its just sad to see "country music fans" say "after what said about county music" (insert some ignorant end like bye or not a fan). Bc i wzs raised on country music. Sung it too. Im 53 years old. Im gonna guess those "country music fans" dont grasp country music at all perhaps not being familiar with genre or have never listened to legends such as Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash! I hate seeing country music being hijacked by racism and othering by marginalizeing others. Not that thats a brand new thing necessarily, its just been here and there in the past, whereas the last 15 or so years has really become ridiculous and gross. Good on her and the COUNTLESS artists doing as she is and just planting seeds of hope and change. She ain't going nowhere, she's probably going to be about bringing positive change that got hijacked by the ignorant racist!

[@Sarasstorytime22]

Love this comment because Johnny Cash and Willie were calling out things in country music and the broader world a long, long time ago.

[@lamars2486]

❤ love that man in black, rest in peace, as well as rest in peace, Buddy Holly, Elvis, and Hank Garland. Good to know you have their six 👍

[@lamars2486]

What amazes me is how this set sounds like the studio, I like it a lot, and that "TALL OAK" that's singing with her . 😊

[@wesleyrobinson5562]

Watched this last night and just Loved the show. Remember the 70s when people were Cool, well I thought Maren was a beautiful, hot,sexy Cool woman. My favorite song My Church. Had me up on my floor carring on wild. You go Maren. I could feel the Love in her ♥ and I think she is a good woman. Love her from N.C. ♥

People this is very political and you’re not getting it. Vote blue.

[@ShawtyShawt]

Ugh. Honestly this song is so bomb with just her full sultry voice, I love Hozier, but it was kinda adding a squeak in the poignant lyrics if you ask meeee
