With her 2016 debut album, Hero, and its accompanying hit single "My Church," Maren Morris helped push country music into the 21st century.

Morris' music was grounded in country -- prior to striking gold as a performer, she was a professional songwriter in Nashville -- but she also incorporated elements of pop, R&B, hip-hop, and rock, creating a distinctive, stylish hybrid that had wide appeal outside her chosen genre.
