1. She Had A Wake-Up Call

In a 2019 interview with Women’s Health, Morris opened up about her past struggles with her body and her health. She said that she went through a bad break-up that led to her wellness and health declining. Luckily, she then had a wake-up call that allowed her to change her lifestyle. “I didn’t look at my body like it was healthy — when you’re going through emotional turmoil, it’s hard to eat. That was a wake-up call: I need to address my mental and physical health.”

2. She Eats Healthy On Tour

It can be difficult to stay healthy when you have a busy schedule. Especially for a singer like Morris, who has to travel for tours and shows. However, Morris says that she makes sure to eat healthy when she’s on the road. “When I’m on there, I make it count,” she said to Women’s Health. “I know I’ll feel awful if I don’t eat right after burning all those calories in the show.”

3. She Hates Squat Lunges, But Still Does Them

Morris told Women’s Health that although she hates doing certain exercises, she sticks with them, since she knows they help her. The singer cited one particular exercise as an example. “Squat lunges are the worst,” Morris said. “They’re so hard because that’s the area I need it most — my thighs and” backside.

4. She Motivates Herself

Morris says to Women’s Health that her goal is to “look like Tomb Raider,” and she says that she has a trick to keep herself moving towards that goal. She says that she keeps a photo of actress Alicia Vikander as Tomb Raider on her phone, and looks at it whenever she has unhealthy cravings. “This is what I have to look at every time I unlock it — if I’m at a bar, or eating a French fry,” Morris said. “So that’s motivating.”

5. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

Morris’ trainer, Erin Oprea, tells Us Weekly that the singer is comfortable with her body, even after welcoming her first child in 2020, and isn’t in any rush to lose weight. “She doesn’t have this, ‘I want to bounce back kind of mentality,’ which I freaking love, after having a baby,” Oprea says. “She has this, ‘I want to feel good, but I still want to love life.’ And I think it’s cool. My goal for her [is] slow and steady, enjoy the journey.”

Oprea tells Us Weekly that she likes to make Morris’ workouts as fun as possible. She says that the two of them like to play fitness games during sessions. “My philosophy is to try and turn fitness into games. So we play lots of fitness games.”

7. She Started Therapy

After seeing Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born, Morris told Women’s Health that she decided to start going to therapy. She says that she saw a lot of similarities between her life and Lady Gaga’s character, and wanted to prevent some of the things that happened in the film. “I had to go to therapy. Not the substance abuse part, but there were things that happened to [Lady Gaga's] character that happened to me. That movie rocked us both. We were like, 'We can never end up like this. Cool?'"

1. She’s Treating Her Depression

Morris opened up about postpartum depression and how she’s treating it on The Howard Stern Show. “I think I was just starting to make very little sense to myself and to people around me. I felt useless in the way of I couldn’t work. I couldn’t tour. Everything got canceled.”It’s a tough one when you’ve done something for so long to not think that that’s you, even though you love it and it makes you a living, that’s not who you are. So separating those things was helpful, getting on Zoloft was also really cool.”

2. She Shaves Her Face

Morris has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed a unique treatment she has on Twitter. “Ok, going a step further, I also shave my face. I learned it because Amy Grant said it once at a talk 5 years ago and she doesn’t age. I’ve been shaving ever since. Men age gracefully because they shave everyday. Marilyn Monroe also shaved. Like, literally no one asked, but it’s Twitter, so f*** it. After years of stage makeup, the only thing that’s worked for my skin is doing microneedling every 2 months. It’s been 2 years since I’ve had a major breakout, even through pregnancy.”

3. Morris Works with Trainer

Morris works with trainer, Erin Opera, to help her stay fit. Opera shared some of Morris’ fitness secrets in an interview with E! News. “She has been playing tennis,” Opera revealed. “I encourage clients to do their cardio outside of me. Sports are always the best way because when you're chasing a ball, you're not thinking about cardio.”

4. She’s Motivated

Opera talked about working with Morris to E! News. She says that the singer is extremely dedicated to staying in shape. “She's a strong woman and she knows what she wants. She's driven. When she decides she wants to do something, or she has a vision for something, she's going to make it play out. She's a strong confident woman. She won't put up with s--t. Nobody can put her down or boss her around.”

5. She Took Things Slow

Opera talked about how Morris lost the weight from her pregnancy to E! News. She says that she had Morris take things slow. “Nutrition was the biggest part. A big part was letting her just enjoy her baby. Just be in the moment and with time, it will all come off if you stay consistent. You can do all these crash things and get it off that way or you can do a slow, steady pace. I always say slow and steady wins the race. If you do it slowly, you're not going to feel deprived.”

Maren Morris, the star singer with a country bent, behind the smash album Humble Quest, got some sun yesterday. "Pretending it’s Lake Como," she captioned the photo of her in a swimsuit.

1. She Loves Fish

When it comes to her diet, Morris revealed on Instagram that she’s a fan of fish and seafood. Morris posted a series of photos from a night out at a sushi restaurant, including oysters and tuna. She captioned the photo series, “You are what you eat.” "For many years, the American Heart Association has recommended that people eat fish rich in unsaturated fats at least twice a week. The unsaturated fats in fish are called omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients in fish may benefit heart health and reduce the risk of dying of heart disease," says the Mayo Clinic. "Some people are concerned about mercury or other contaminants in seafood. However, the benefits of eating fish as part of a healthy diet usually outweigh the possible risks of exposure to contaminants."

2. She Enjoys The Water

Morris spent her summer in Tennessee with her old friends from Texas, and one of her activities included spending time on the water. Morris shared a series of photos on Instagram in July, which include her swimming with friends, and spending time on a boat. "The good news is that the fresh air and open spaces provided by the outdoors encourage families to be active together. Research has shown that kids that come from an active home environment are more likely to be physically active when they get older. Active families are healthy families," says ACE Fitness.

3. She Plays Golf

According to this photo on Instagram, Morris and her husband like to go to the golf course. She captioned the photo, “Tutorial on how to get a great photo: don’t let your husband take what you think is a great photo.” "Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and rotated slightly outward, and with your knees slightly bent. Hold your spine relatively straight. Your trunk should be tilted forward, but most of that movement should come from your hips. Avoid hunching over the ball, which may lead to neck and back strain," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Plays Tennis

In addition to playing golf, Morris is also a fan of playing tennis. She shared this photo on Instagram of her at the court. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," says ACE Fitness.

5. She Uses A Personal Trainer

In order to get in shape for her 2018 wedding to singer Ryan Hurd, Morris revealed that she started using a personal trainer, and that it really helped her wellness routine. "I'd always worked out really intermittently and done yoga and hot yoga but had never really used a trainer before, and I really wanted to get toned," she said to Women’s Health. "I didn't necessarily want to lose weight, I wanted to feel strong, so I definitely do feel strong now, which is nice."

6. She Eats Healthy Breakfasts, Especially On The Road

It can be difficult to eat healthy while on tour and traveling, but Morris tells Women’s Health that she makes it work. Morris says that she has a go-to healthy breakfast recipe, "I just make three egg whites, a piece of whole wheat toast, and some blueberries—and coffee, always.” She also says that she eats most of her daily carbs in the morning.

In an interview with Health Magazine, Lambert opened up about her approach to fitness and diet. She says that she doesn’t like to have a strict plan and goes with the flow. “I don't have any rhyme or reason to my fitness routine or dieting. I’ve been on every diet. Every time I did low-carb, I would gain [the weight] back so quickly. Sometimes I have a couple weeks where I just drink beer and eat cheeseburgers. And then I’ll go, 'That was fun, but my stuff doesn’t fit.' Then I’ll spend a month doing Pilates or riding a lot and running."

2. She’s Comfortable

Lambert is all about being comfortable with herself, especially when it comes to her weight and body. "It's so good to find your place," she said to Health. "I don’t like being onstage worrying about my body. That’s the last thing I want to be thinking about. I don't give my best performance when I’m distracted by my insecurities."

3. She Gets Ahead Of People’s Comments

Lambert has had to deal with rumors and comments on her life. She toldUs Weekly in 2013 that she likes to get ahead of all this. “My fans expect me to lay it all out! I've always been happy with myself. But when I hit 30, I thought, It's not going to get easier. So I chose to get ahead of it. There's still nothing I love more than a bag of Cheetos, though!”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Lambert shared some of her go-to products for her Vegas residency in an interview withE! News. She says that she makes sure to take care of her skin, especially when she’s on stage. “I like to use sunscreen under my makeup because I feel like the UV lights can be harsh on your skin, so I wear sunscreen all the time. That's my go-to beauty product in general. I also use tons of moisturizer, especially in Vegas. I love the True Botanicals face oil.”

5. She’s All About Authenticity

Lambert is open about her life and career in the music business. She told Songwriting Magazine that she is all about being true to herself when it comes to her music. "Authenticity is the most important thing in this business. No matter where you’re from, where you grew up or what you stand for, I feel like it should show in your music, because that’s your roots. Country music obviously has a stronger opinion on that, for sure, but I like to believe people.”

Singer Raye is on a vacation in the Maldives. She made sure to hit the beach, and get some photos for Instagram. In a recent post, Raye posed in a black halter swimsuit with cut-outs. Her impressive figure was on display. She captioned the post, “Only ting kissing me is the sun.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Raye stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She’s Focused On Quality

When it comes to her music, Raye isn’t worried about how well it sells. She tells The Guardian that she’s focused on the quality of her work.“What actually should matter is having artists who build fanbases and sell out shows and stream music, regardless of what genre it is,” she says. “Having a Top 10 is not defining. What it showed me was that we were aiming for two completely different things and we always have been. What makes them proud isn’t what makes me proud.”

2. She Doesn’t Compromise Herself

Raye opened up about her career to Glamour. She says that she is in a place where she doesn’t compromise her work. “I'm so proud of the fact that it's an album I've created where I haven't had to compromise at all on what my vision is. I'm fully in control of my career for the first time in my life, and I'm fully in control of this music, and that has just been the most rewarding feeling. This is my first body of work, and it's just the beginning for me of an amazing journey. I know it, and I'm so excited.”

3. She’s Working On Forgiveness

In her Glamour interview, Raye opened up about her mental health. She says that she is working on forgiving others. “A big part of that, to be honest, has been forgiveness. I think if I wasn't able to truly let go of things that had hurt me in the past, I think I would be a really bitter person.”

4. She’s Letting Go

Another thing Raye has done to help with her mental wellbeing is letting go of past feelings. “I think I am luckier than most in that I've even been able to process and let go of some things that have hurt me,” Raye told Glamour. “I know some incredible women who are still so shaken by their traumas and fears.” Raye also says that songwriting has helped her process things. “I think maybe it's also the beauty of being able to write music and find healing through sound and lyrical expression, and I think releasing some of these songs in this album will be a real healing experience for me too.”

5. She Speaks Out

Raye isn’t afraid to speak out, especially when it comes to songwriter rights. “I've been speaking out about songwriter rights because it's so wrong and because the general public has zero idea what really happens or how it works, and they don't even realise that songwriting is a career,” she explained to Glamour. “Songwriters are the most unprotected and disrespected community in the entire music industry - especially for an industry based on songs. It's been something I've been speaking passionately about, and the industry absolutely hates it!”
