Why Fans Are Losing It Over Maren Morris' Steamy Performance With Ryan Hurd

There's no doubt that Maren Morris and her husband, Ryan Hurd, are relationship goals. The pair met in 2013 — fittingly during a songwriting session (is there anything that the couple cannot do?) — and in 2018, they tied the knot in Nashville.

Morris and Hurd expanded their family pretty quickly, and they welcomed their first son, Hayes, in March 2020. Morris had an intense labor and delivery experience, which she detailed on her Instagram page. She wrote (via Good Morning America), "30 hours of labor ended with an emergency c-section... not what we planned but I learned pretty quickly that night that having a plan for bringing a human into the world is a fool's errand." She continued, "Holding him and healing my body in a maternity ward that's eerily quiet from us not being allowed visitors or family at this time, but strangely serene."

So how is the couple doing today? Keep scrolling to find out why their scintillating performance at the ACM Awards on April 18 caused a stir.

At the 2021 annual Academy of Country Music Awards, Maren Morris and hubby Ryan Hurd lit up the stage with an intimate performance of their song "Chasing After You," which was their first time performing the tune together. Morris looked incredible in an off-the-shoulder top that bared her toned abs, paired with some formfitting pants. Hurd looked handsome in a pair of black pants and a white button-down shirt, with one fan comparing him to a James Bond character. The couple held hands, kissed, and were all over each other during the performance, which gave many chills. 

Fans on Twitter were not shy about expressing their love over the two lovebirds on stage, and it generated a lot of buzz for the cute country music pair. "OMG! What an emotional, captivating performance by#GirlArtist Maren Morris, and her husband, Ryan Hurd," one Twitter user exclaimed. "Not a fan of Maren Morris but Her and Ryan Hurd's chemistry...HOT! such a great song too," a second chimed in, adding a single heart-eye emoji. "Holy JESUS Ryan Hurd and Maren Morris are the hottest couple I've ever seen," a third Twitter user gushed. "Such a hot performance and so cute Ryan Hurd and Maren Morris!!" another complimented. 

We don't think that this will be the last time that we see the pair perform together, and we're totally okay with it because their chemistry is off-the-charts!
