Morris has been an outspoken figure in the country music scene, often advocating for progressive causes such as LGBTQ rights and racial justice. In 2023, she labeled parts of the country music industry as "toxic," expressing her discomfort with its political climate. Following her coming out as bisexual in June 2024, she celebrated her identity during Pride Month, stating, "Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy pride!" This personal revelation came after years of feeling constrained by her straight relationships and the expectations of her music career in Nashville.
