If you ask a country singer why they got into the business, they’ll probably tell you about someone who recognized their talent and encouraged them to go for it.<\/p>\n
But for Morgan Wade it was the exact opposite.<\/p>\n
She talked about it in an interview with Opry NextStage.<\/p>\n
“There was an unofficial singing group at school, and I remember the girls telling me, ‘Your voice is weird.’ You know as a kid you really take that stuff personally. “[But] for me, I think it was the best thing that happened, because I continued to do it because I loved it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It sounds like the “mean girls” at school were jealous of her talent, because that was NOT the case when she got with some real musicians.<\/p>\n
“I found a band on Craigslist, and that one group of guys gave me that confidence, and I don’t remember ever being nervous. It just felt right.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Morgan’s album, “Reckless” recently topped “Rolling Stone’s” list of the Best Country and Americana Albums of 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you ask a country singer why they got into the business, they’ll probably tell you about someone who recognized their talent and encouraged them to go for it.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":19794,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[3609],"class_list":["post-19793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-morgan-wade"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-10 20:00:36","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2022\/06\/morgan-wade-motivated-by-mean-girls-at-school\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19793"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19820,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19793\/revisions\/19820"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
