United Kingdom, May 11 -- Maren Morris thinks Beyonce has had a "great" impact on country music.

The 35-year-old singer loves seeing mainstream stars embrace country music and Maren has admitted to being a big fan of Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' album, which she released in 2024.

Speaking to the Observer newspaper, Maren explained: "It's great when people come in and obviously have such a deep respect for the lore and the roots of country music, which people of colour started.

"Beyonce telling the history of that in a correct way was so important."

Maren believes some critics of the recent trend have overlooked the evolution of country music.
