Country singer criticizes Tucker Carlson, but doesn’t have the final say.

Country Singer Maren Morris Takes a Dig at Tucker Carlson

At the GLAAD awards over the weekend, “woke” country singer Maren Morris took a shot at Tucker Carlson, which received a great deal of applause from the crowd. However, Carlson will have the last laugh, given the facts that he is more impactful on the culture, wealthy beyond her dreams, and people actually know his name.

If you don’t know who Morris is, you certainly shouldn’t feel left out. She hasn’t had a great deal of success on the charts, so her introduction to many, many people was when Carlson called her a “lunatic” on his show. Morris is now wearing Carlson’s mockery of her as a badge of honor in lieu of music accolades.

Have you ever heard of Maren Morris? She raised a significant sum of money off of him calling her a loon, Deadline reported. “Maybe I felt a little bad*** taking Tucker Carlson’s calling me a lunatic for standing up to transphobia, turning it into a T-shirt and raising $150,000 for LGBTQ+ charities,” she said at the GLAAD awards on Saturday before she took a shot at Carlson over his ouster at Fox News.

One person who came across the tweet commented, “I had no idea who Marren Morris was before coming across this tweet linked from a news article, but I’m willing to bet Tucker still makes more money than her with just compounding interest in his bank account alone. Also, people know who Tucker is.”

One of the few upsides of social media is it allows normal people to elevate their voices and opinions. The above tweet perfectly summarizes Morris and her role in the culture. In the coming years, the singer will be remanded back to “woke” country music obscurity — and that’s if she’s lucky. She could end up broke.

Carlson, meanwhile, has driven news cycles for years and will continue to do so if he chooses. His tweets alone are viewed by millions upon millions of people. He is as in demand as ever and is currently being paid tens of millions of dollars to do absolutely nothing after leaving a show that endeared him to millions.

The former Fox News host could choose to retire and this very moment and if he did, he will have ended a career that towers over those of his peers and detractors alike. Morris could retire from making really bad music and she would be forgotten by Friday.
