Maren Morris Opens Up About Niall Horan In New Interview

Maren Morris recently sat down with Girlfriend to chat about her new music and touring with Niall Horan. The young singer is still riding high from her recent single “The Middle” and will soon be hitting the road with Niall to tour the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Highlights from her interview are below.

On how their collaborating “Seeing Blind” came about: “Shortly after the Grammys last year Niall reached out to me and he really loved my voice and he had the song “Seeing Blind” already written, but was looking for the right voice to be on it. He reached out to me over email and was really polite and just said, ‘I love your voice and I would love to have you on this song.’ I heard the song and immediately loved it and I thought I could hear myself on it, even though it was from an email and we had never met before. Music brings people together and that song, it brought the two of us into each other’s lives in musical way.”

On meeting Niall: “He came to Nashville shortly after I recorded my vocals for Seeing Blind and he came up with his band and they’d never really been to Nashville and explored it before. So I was here, and there were some bars where I live where we’d go and hang out and have a couple drinks and get to know each other. It was him and his band and me and my husband Ryan, we were all just hanging out as a group at this bar in East Nashville, and we were instantly like old friends. He just came across so normal—I know that’s weird to say but he is! He’s just a normal guy and he’s funny and really charming, and obviously really humble. He’s not into the hype of himself, which a lot of artists in his position could be, but he is about the music and he’s a real person, so I really respected him after that first meet.”
