HERO WORSHIP

Columbia Nashville star and CMT Artist of the Year Maren Morris collects three more plaques for her collection, these marking platinum certification for "I Could Use a Love Song and ''80s Mercedes" and double-platinum for "My Church," all of which grace her smash debut set, Hero. She then queried her Sony Music Nashville team about whether she should get a new house to hold them or just have an annex built at the label.

Seen thinking this photo op is a killer bicep workout are (l-r) EVP Marketing & New Biz John Zarling, 42 Entertainment/Red Light's Janet Weir, SMN boss Randy Goodman, Morris, COO/EVP Ken Robold, newly upped EVP A&R Jim Catino, VP A&R Taylor Lindsey.

Morris blew minds recently at the CMT ceremony when she joined Brandi Carlile for a blazing take on "Natural Woman," in tribute to the late, great Aretha Franklin. Missed it? No problem; see below.
