Maren Morris flanked by RuPaul's Drag Race stars Billboard Pride cover trends now

Country star Maren Morris was surrounded by a quartet of drag performers on the new Pride cover of Billboard magazine.

The 33-year-old is a staunch advocate of left-wing causes including those involving LGBTQ issues, to the point she received an award from GLAAD last month.

She has not shied away from airing out her views on social media, famously feuding with Jason Aldean's wife Brittany over trans issues.

However in a new essay for Billboard, Maren confessed to occasionally feeling she had a 'ridiculous and kind of an almost white savior complex way of thinking: "I’m going to change it all from the inside - me, myself and I."'

Arguing that she 'cannot look at the bad apples anymore,' she wrote that 'clapping back on Twitter and expecting a different result doesn’t work for me anymore.'

Maren was the image of country glam on the cover of Billboard, flanked by drag performers Symone, Eureka O’Hara, Sasha Colby, Landon Cider.

This January, Maren appeared on RuPaul's Drag Race and apologized on the verge of tears for country music's 'relationship with LGBTQ+ members.'

'The way the country music industry has treated LGBTQ people has been awful - there’s been almost no representation,' she wrote in her Billboard essay.

'There are people like Ty Herndon, who wasn’t able to come out until he was basically not in the industry anymore. But there is progress being made: TJ Osborne, one of my closest friends, came out a couple years ago, and there’s such support behind him because it’s like: "Yeah, it doesn’t matter."'

TJ, who is one of the Brothers Osborne, became the only openly gay artist signed to a major country label upon coming out in February 2021.

Reflecting on the reasons for her her Drag Race appearance, Maren said: 'I felt like country music in some ways gets overlooked in that community because they rightfully assume it’s not a welcoming community.'
