Niall Horan‘s debut solo album Flicker features a duet with Maren Morris called “Seeing Blind.” Starting tonight, Maren is going to spend the summer in “The Middle” of a world tour with Niall, as his opening act. Maren, who’s never toured with a pop star before, says it’s all about “me bringing my music to the world.”
Maren, who has previously toured with Keith Urban and “Body Like a Back Road” singer Sam Hunt, tells ABC Radio, “It’s gonna be such a different mode…for me…it’s a lot crazier routing than I’m used to on country tours. But I think if we get enough sleep, we’re gonna have a good time!”
Maren isn’t joking about the routing: She and Niall are kicking things off tonight in Auckland, New Zealand, and will travel to Australia, the Far East, South America and Mexico before arriving in the U.S. on July 18.
“This whole thing has been about me bringing my music to the world,” she tells ABC Radio. “And so this just felt like a really great challenge.”
“To be on tour with someone that is so universally known, and is so talented in their own right, to bring me out and open me up to this entire universe of fans, I mean, it’s just gonna be so fun,” the singer continues. “Yeah, I wanna be able to share my music with as many people while I’m here as possible.”
Meanwhile, Maren’s hit collaboration with Zedd and Grey, “The Middle,” currently sits at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
