Maren Morris Sets the Record Straight on Her Denim Skirt Malfunction | Cheap Shots | Cosmopolitan
Maren Morris might need to cancel the rest of her day after stepping into the #CheapShots hot seat. From dodging the name of the celebrity who love-bombed her after two dates to revealing the story behind *that* infamous denim skirt malfunction, the talented singer-songwriter takes aim at herself and others—though she insists it's nothing personal. Will she name who she thinks is the most overrated artist on the charts and which celebrity she’d like to “push over,” or will she risk a hangover asking, “Was it top shelf?”

Transcript
00:00Out of the following tours you've opened for, rank these men from favorite to least favorite.
00:08I'm Maren Morris and I'm taking Cheap Shots with Cosmo.
00:11I might need some like Imodium after this.
00:14Oh, that smells like my senior trip to Cancun.
00:17This is so f***ing good.
00:21Are you a shots girl?
00:22I take like a half of a tequila shot before every show.
00:27The nerves go away, give me some energy, but I can still, you know, string a sentence together.
00:33In round one, I'll be taking shots at myself.
00:36The drinks are whiskey sours, four regular and one spikes with a shot of cheap whiskey.
00:43I'm scared.
00:44Starting there is crazy.
00:48In honor of your new single Cut,
00:50what's one look you've worn on stage that you'd like to cut?
00:53Is it denim?
00:55Yeah, against my will.
00:57A video circulated recently of me wearing a denim skirt with a giant slit in it.
01:01I was wearing underwear.
01:02It was nude underwear, but it looked like my whole vagina was out.
01:07So I'm definitely cutting the skirt.
01:10But also a little bit iconic.
01:12Like, should we put it in some sort of Hall of Fame or frame it for my home?
01:18I don't know.
01:18Sounds like it's straight.
01:20Was it a publicity stunt?
01:24It wasn't a publicity stunt.
01:25Actually, before I put that skirt on, I had a another wardrobe malfunction with a skirt before it.
01:31So the denim skirt was like my backup option.
01:34And I was like, I have to be sure to wear underwear with this.
01:37I wish I'd worn like Dayglo underwear so people would definitely know I had it on.
01:42But you live and you learn.
01:45All right.
01:46Thank God.
01:46What's your most toxic Aries trait?
01:49Probably that everyone is interested in every story I'm telling.
01:53I hate this about myself and I'm really working on it.
01:56But when someone's talking to me, I am thinking about what I'm about to like launch into.
02:02I'm going to work on that one in therapy and journal about it.
02:05So we can start listening to people.
02:08Sorry, Aries.
02:09We're known for that one.
02:12You told Billboard, I think I've learned how to be a better boss.
02:15I'm the one running the show now.
02:17Name a time that you weren't a good boss.
02:20Like, I don't know.
02:21That's so subjective.
02:23I feel like I've been really fair.
02:25I've been really like kind to everyone that's ever worked for me.
02:29I have very low turnover in my band and crew,
02:32because I would hope that we have like a really safe, fun working environment.
02:37I'm just going to take a shot.
02:38I really, that's not even like I'm not willing to answer it.
02:41It's just that I can't.
02:42So I'm really scared.
02:44And these all look the same size.
02:48All right.
02:50Oh, that's real.
02:53Oh, okay.
03:00No, it's not.
03:04And it's brown.
03:05Why did I pick the like brown whiskey glass?
03:07Okay, I might need some like Imodium after this.
03:12Okay, all right.
03:15Okay.
03:16In your new bop, Push Me Over, you sing,
03:18sitting on the fence feels good between my legs.
03:21The more that you come closer, I want you to push me over.
03:24Who's the one celebrity you'd like to push over?
03:30Um, oh my God.
03:33Like, I hate to put her on the spot, but like Phoebe Bridgers.
03:39I feel like most people would say that.
03:42So that's not even like controversial.
03:45She's just beloved and very hot and amazingly talented.
03:49Also, we've only met once.
03:50So sorry, Phoebe.
03:53You've told People Magazine that you don't want to be known for your clapbacks on Twitter.
03:56What's one tweet that you regret?
03:58I don't really have any tweets that I've regretted.
04:01I will say I didn't think my Insurrection Barbie tweet
04:06to a certain someone would have picked up so much momentum, but I stand by it.
04:11So I'm going to call that a wash and not take the shot because I gave an answer.
04:17God.
04:18Round one complete.
04:20Round two is timed shots.
04:23I'll have 30 seconds to get these trivia questions right or take a shot.
04:26These drinks are tequila sunrise, four with top shelf tequila
04:30and one with cheap nasty tequila.
04:34I'm scared.
04:36What was the second song on the set list during your Girl World tour?
04:41Um, The Feels?
04:45Thank God.
04:45Okay, I'm scared.
04:46All right.
04:47Your song The Middle Was Dead was recorded by more than 12 other artists
04:50before it rightfully ended up in your hands.
04:52Name three of them.
04:53Uh, Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello, uh, Toblo.
05:00All right.
05:01Did you listen to any of the other artists?
05:03I actually heard Camila's and it was amazing.
05:04Like I was like, how do I not copy what she's doing?
05:08Because I had heard it before I did my vocal, but she's, yeah, killed it.
05:12You're a known fan of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and friends with Kyle Richards.
05:16Who did she infamously call a liar?
05:19Uh, her sister, Kim.
05:21What?
05:22Who?
05:24You're such a liar, Camille.
05:27Oh, you're such a liar, Camille.
05:31Take the shot.
05:35This one looks tiny.
05:38Oh, that smells like my senior trip to Cancun.
05:46Was it Top Shelf?
05:47Yeah.
05:47Oh, thank God.
05:48All right.
05:50I'm gonna have to like cancel the rest of the day.
05:54Your song, I Could Use A Love Song, went number one on the Billboard Country Airplay charts.
05:58Name three other Maren Morris songs that are also about songs.
06:02Um, My Church.
06:04I, uh, I just had a song for everything.
06:09Um, Circles Around This Town.
06:12Oh, yay.
06:13All right.
06:13Thank God.
06:14I'm scared.
06:16I really need to like pick a new topic to write about.
06:20My Church took home the Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance in 2017.
06:25Who were the other nominees?
06:28Okay, um, Carrie Underwood.
06:32I think Keith Urban.
06:36Oh my God.
06:38Maybe Sturgill Simpson?
06:44I cannot remember the year.
06:46It was so long ago.
06:47Like, who else was having a moment that year in solo performance?
06:51Like, Carrie, Keith, me.
06:59Who?
06:59Miranda Lambert for Vice and Brandi Clark for Let Me Go To Hell.
07:04Oh my God.
07:04Okay.
07:06I'm really scared of this like brown one.
07:15Okay.
07:19Round two complete.
07:20Didn't go that well.
07:22Round three, the category is cheap shots.
07:25I'll be taking literal cheap shots at everyone.
07:27The drinks are champagne.
07:29Four are expensive.
07:30One is bottom shelf.
07:34You've written for artists like Kelly Clarkson and Tim McGraw.
07:37Name one artist who passed on the song you pitched to them.
07:39Oh my God, so many.
07:41That's easy.
07:42I've pitched songs back in the day when I was just a songwriter to
07:46Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town.
07:49Also, I'm naming people that like I work and I'm friends with now, but whatever.
07:54I just ended up having to become an artist myself to not get that rejection anymore.
08:00Now that you're single and ready to mingle,
08:02name one celebrity who slid into your...
08:04Sorry, I'm not drunk, I promise.
08:07I'll start that over.
08:09Now that you're single and ready to mingle,
08:10name one celebrity who slid into your DMs and tell us what they said.
08:16I don't know if it's like DMs, but it was like Unriah.
08:23And I don't want to name the person because like they weren't an asshole,
08:27but they were like really love bomb-y and went on like two dates with them.
08:33And it was just like not, not fun.
08:37I feel like I'm talking to like my mother or something.
08:40Like, why don't you text me back?
08:42Like, I was like, because I've been on two dates with you and I'm on tour.
08:44Like I'm working.
08:46Does that count?
08:49No.
08:53This makes me want to puke.
08:57That tasted really cheap.
09:00Yeah.
09:03I hate y'all.
09:05One of the following collaborations has to go.
09:08Tell us which one and why.
09:11Some Things I'll Never Know, Teddy Swims, love him.
09:1342, Diplo, love.
09:16You All Over Me, Taylor Swift, obsessed.
09:18And then Seeing Blind, Niall, my sweet friend.
09:26I'm only going to pick this because it's the most recent,
09:29so I haven't like lived with it enough.
09:31I want to say 42, Diplo, love the song, love it all.
09:38But I just, it's, it's not like, you know, in my brain as much as these other ones.
09:43Can you imagine if I'd said Taylor Swift?
09:47This is so ****.
09:48All right.
09:50In your opinion, who is the most overrated artist currently on the charts?
10:02I have a few ideas, but you're not going to hear about them.
10:09Out of the following tours you've opened for, rank these men from favorite to least favorite.
10:18Adam Levine, Niall Horan, Chris Stapleton.
10:22Okay, I'm going to say my favorite was Niall.
10:28He's such a goofball on the road.
10:30He has such a great sense of humor.
10:31It was just like being on tour with your brother.
10:33So he was my favorite of these, just in terms of like the time I had.
10:38Second favorite, I would say Chris Stapleton.
10:42I've opened for Chris a few times.
10:43In the last show, it was like rained out and our set got like cut in half.
10:48I think we just ran through like four songs, maybe.
10:52Least favorite, and I will preface this by saying it's because
10:57I don't consider this a full tour that we did with them.
11:00So I'm going to find a loophole on that one and say Maroon 5.
11:05It was so much fun.
11:06Had a great time, but we spent the least time with that headliner, if that makes sense.
11:11So nothing personal.
11:14I think that counts.
11:15Okay, thank God.
11:18Round three, complete.
11:21I think I did just okay.
11:23I'm going to give myself like a B- because I think I didn't want to throw people under the bus.
11:29Listen, I have to be able to sleep at night, and I'm going to sleep really good tonight.
11:34Listen to my new EP, Intermission.
11:36It is out everywhere now, and I'm so excited about it.
11:40And this was fun.
11:41Probably the most fun I've had in a while on an interview.
