Maren Morris is taking a stand against Tennessee’s controversial drag show bill.
While performing at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena Monday night for « Love Rising, » an all-star benefit concert for LGBTQ causes, the country singer said: « I introduced my son to some drag queens today. So Tennessee, (expletive) arrest me. »
Ticket proceeds for the show benefited local advocacy groups including Tennessee Equality Project, Inclusion Tennessee, OUT Memphis, The Tennessee Pride Chamber and Looking Out Foundation, a non-profit co-founded by singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, pledged to match donations up to $100,000.
« He’s growing up here as a Nashvillian, and I just want to leave this world for him a little bit better than the one we’re in right now, » Morris said of her son. « And I feel like nights like tonight help do that. »
