Maren Morris is one of several country stars who’ve been rejected by “American Idol”, and probably did better because of it. Yesterday she posted her audition ticket from August 6th, 2007.
It has a Ticketmaster serial number, and she’s in Section 17 . . . Row 7 . . . and Seat 102. It also had these important instructions: “Bring Ticket / Wristband / Photo ID. Do Not Lose This Ticket.”
Here’s what she wrote in the caption: “My mom found my ‘Idol’ audition ticket. I didn’t make it past the first round cattle call . . . I wasn’t really into sports growing up, but this feels like the equivalent of your mom saving your 10th place trophy.”
She knew back then that “Idol” made a mistake. Somebody in the comments asked about her audition song, and she wrote, “‘Sweet Thing’ by Chaka Khan, and I slayed.”
