Maren first took the stage to perform an intoxicating rendition of “80’s Mercedes.” And, you could say that she looked just as sharp as the vehicle that she described in the song.

The 26-year-old Texan paired some sexy pumps with a pair of black leather pants and a sparkly crop top. With the accompaniment of four musicians, she belted out the easygoing lyrics to the song. Maren, then, switched gears to croon her breakthrough smash, “My Church.” She grabbed her guitar and strummed away, while fans in the studio audience cheered loudly. Although the program only featured a portion of the praise-worthy song, we’re pretty sure that Maren slayed her performance!
Maren will soon please fans again when she takes the stage at the 2017 Grammy Awards. On Jan. 31, the star revealed in two tweets that she is set to join forces with “The Voice” coach Alicia Keys, whom she previously collaborated with during an episode of “CMT Crossroads.”
She writes, “Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m performing at the #Grammys !! AND I’m gonna collab with my girl @aliciakeys again for this incredibly special night of music. See you through the tv!”
