MAREN Morris managed to dodge questions about her friend Taylor Swift’s wedding on live TV just hours before the pop superstar is scheduled to tie the knot.
The country singer performed on Today Friday morning in front of a packed crowd in the sweltering NYC heat as part of the morning show’s summer concert series.
After performing her hits Hard Liquor and Soft Rock and 80s Mercedes early Friday, Today’s Craig Melvin dropped a Taylor wedding question on Maren, taking her by surprise.
“It was reported yesterday by Variety that you are going to the wedding. What do you get as a gift for someone like that? Do you get a juicer?” Craig asked, as Maren nervously played with her hair and stuttered.
“I don’t know, what do you get? That would be a hard person to buy for,” she said uncomfortably.
“I’m so happy for them. This is such an incredible thing. I think she has such a close tie to New York.
“And yeah…I’m so excited for them to celebrate their love. It’s so cool.
“There’s a lot going on this weekend. I’m happy to be here during this frenzy.”
According to Variety, Maren is attending the festivities on Friday evening, alongside fellow country stars Miranda Lambert and Kelsea Ballerini.
Taylor and Maren have been friends for years, and the latter even made a guest appearance on the pop superstar’s Eras tour in 2023.
