In the early days of Maren Morris' music career, she was part of the first GRAMMY Camp class in 2005. Twelve years later, she was back in Los Angeles — this time, to accept her first GRAMMY.
In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, travel back to the night Morris had her full-circle moment when "My Church" won Best Country Solo Performance at the 2017 GRAMMYs.
When Morris took the stage to accept her golden gramophone, she first took a moment to acknowledge her Recording Academy roots. "[GRAMMY Camp] was the first time I ever flew on a plane by myself to Los Angeles," she recalled. "It's crazy to be here a decade later."
Morris later praised her team at Red Light Management, Columbia Records, and Big Yellow Dog. "Sorry! I'm really nervous," she said as she laughed between names.
Before heading off stage, Morris thanked two more special people in her life: her mother, who was her date, and her fans. "Thank you for giving me the most incredible year of my life!" she exclaimed.
