On Thursday, Grammy winner Maren Morris cried tears of happiness after receiving a callback for Universal's two-part, big-screen adaptation of the $3B-grossing Broadway musical, Wicked.
'Y'all, I literally don't even care - yes I do - if I go beyond this callback,' the Texan-born 32-year-old - who boasts 3.9M social media followers - said via Instastory.
'Because this is, like, 14-year-old Maren getting to achieve something, like, was never in reach. It just never felt possible, so thank you for being on this journey with me. We'll see where it goes. I'm just really happy.'

Maren went on to give a shout out to Kristin Chenoweth, who had tweeted: 'You go baby! Told ya you could do it!'
'Thank you, Kristin, for inspiring me to buck up and just send a self tape in. I don't know what to say,' Morris sniffed.
The 54-year-old Tony winner famously originated the role of Glinda the Good Witch during Wicked's first nine-month run at Manhattan's Gershwin Theatre between 2003-2004.
And while the country crooner didn't specifically mention which role she auditioned for - based on her age - it must be for the part of Nessarose, the disabled sister of Elphaba.
