Maren Morris RSVP: The Tour with Ryan Hurd and Caitlyn Smith

The Arlington native is nine months pregnant and could go into labor at any moment. The car that brought her to the stage stayed in place the entirety of her performance.



“If I go into labor during this show, it’s all good because it just means that my kid really wanted to be born in Texas,” she told the crowd of 64,661 paid attendance.

“He’s kicking. He knows that my adrenaline is on full blast.”

Morris is one of the few women in country music who still earns substantial radio play (a whole other, unfortunate story). She’s used that position to move into new genres: the slick pop of “The Middle” and “RSVP,” the searing soul of “Once.” And she’s at home in all of them.



She shared a video Saturday morning on social media watching the “Selena” movie as she was getting hair and makeup done.

“In glam watching ‘Selena.’ I’m about to play the Astrodome tonight. Ultimate 9 month pregnant energy reached,” she tweeted.



She meant, of course, NRG Stadium. Selena played the Astrodome in 1995. In the clip Morris shared, Jennifer Lopez recreates Selena’s legendary performance.

Morris took the stage in sparkling fringe and flared pants. The outfit’s nude illusion showcased her belly. She was surrounded by pink and blue rugs across the floor.
