Maren Morris poked fun at her viral wardrobe malfunction, during which she wore a denim skirt with a high slit.
The 34-year-old singer shared a video on TikTok on July 16 to address her accidental wardrobe malfunction, which occurred earlier this month at Willie Nelson’s Fourth of July Picnic concert. During the event in Camden, New Jersey, fans shared videos of Morris on stage, while her denim skirt was still open in the front of her very high slit.
In her TikTok video, Morris can be seen sitting in a car and rolling her eyes, as she pokes fun at the fact that her wardrobe malfunction went viral. “Hey guys, did something weird happen today?!” she wrote in the caption over the video, which was set to Megan Thee Stallion's hit song, “WAP.”
“Anyway, steam Rest“Morris continued, referring to her new EP, which is due out August 2.
She also noted that she had no plans to throw away her viral concert outfit, adding, “I think I'll frame the skirt.”
In the comments of the TikTok video, which has more than 1.3 million views, fans praised Morris for laughing off the costume issue.
“The skirt was a hit, this response is a hit, Maren is always a hit,” wrote one fan, while another commented: “What I love most about you is how carefree you are and how well you should be queen.”
“That’s the most appropriate response,” commented a third fan. In response, the singer, who has a four-year-old son, Hayes, with ex-husband Ryan Hurd, wrote: “I’ve already given birth. I’m not ashamed of anything anymore.”
As she took to the stage at Nelson's event earlier this month, Morris paired her denim skirt with a plunging black top and black leather boots. While performing her hit song “The Middle,” Morris appeared to notice her skirt accidentally falling open from the slit, as she looked down at the denim and smiled before continuing with her show.
In the comments of her TikTok performance, some fans praised how Morris handled the wardrobe issue, while others questioned why her styling team didn't say anything about the skirt.
“Well at least she looked okay,” one fan joked, while another added: “You mean no one on that stage noticed and tried to tell her?!”
Last month, the “Girl” singer made headlines when she came out as bisexual. “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post, which included photos of her holding a Pride flag during a recent tour stop in Phoenix, Arizona. “Happy Pride,” she added, along with a rainbow emoji.
Her announcement came months after she filed for divorce from Hurd, her husband of five years. In a divorce petition filed in October 2023, Morris cited “irreconcilable differences” and revealed that she had been separated from Hurd since October 2.
The filing not only noted that the former couple “could not successfully live together as husband and wife,” but also claimed that Morris had already completed a parenting seminar that is typically required in divorce cases.
