Morris was thrilled with the news, writing on Twitter yesterday (11/23), "Whew! Today was so special. Not only do I get to share a first Grammy nomination with @RyanHurd, but I did NOT expect a nom for “Better Than We Found It” for a country song. For anyone that it reached, I am deeply moved as a songwriter today. Congratulations to all our friends!"

In addition, she posted to Instagram, "SO unexpected that I don’t even have champagne in the house to toast this yet, but it is always an honor to be nominated by the @recordingacademy. More so, I am honored to be nominated with my husband & best friends @ryanhurd @lauraveltzofficial @jammyrabbins @jessiejodillon ✨😭."
