Another major star she recently took the stage with was Niall Horan. The former One Directioner joined her onstage at her London show over the weekend. The two have previously collaborated on the 2017 song "Seeing Blind," which was featured on Horan's debut album, Flicker. They also went on tour together last year. 

When asked if she would work with Horan again, Morris said she would love to.

"He and I became such great friends. Our bands became friends on the road last year," the country star expressed. "I would love to write with him and do something in the future. He's such a great guy. He's a badass."

Meanwhile, ET also spoke with Crow during the CMT Music Awards' red carpet where she praised Morris for her talents. 

"I met [Maren] in a very early point in her career. She was actually looking for a record label and I heard some of her songs and I was like, 'This girl is going to be around a long time,'" Crow said of Morris, who she said was "like a goddaughter" to her and Nicks. "We kind of brought her into the fray and keeping it going."
