"I would like this to sort of wrap up," Morris said of her divorce. "I don't have the headspace for that yet. But I'm writing so much right now. That's kind of been my way of dating is just through song."

Morris has long been vocal about her conflict with country music and homophobic rhetoric from her peers.

"I hate feeling like I need to be the hall monitor of treating people like human beings in country music," she told the Los Angeles Times in September 2022 following a a public disagreement with Brittany Aldean — wife of country singer Jason Aldean — regarding gender-affirming care for children.

In September, she told the outlet in another interview that the country music industry is "burning itself down without my help."

The "Girls" singer also implied that she was leaving the genre, although she clarified on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" in October that she's "leaving behind the sort of toxic parts of it."

The genre-bending artist added: "I want to take the good parts with me."
