Maren Morris is feeling good today as she just shared some wall bling celebrating her latest gold and platinum awards.

She posted to Instagram late last night (July 15), "Tequila was served tonight. 'GIRL,' 'The Bones' and 'Rich' are gold and 'HERO' IS AN EFFING PLATINUM ALBUM! Thank you Sony, my Columbia team and thank you to every writer, player, and fan who made this possible."

Gold and Platinum certifications are determined by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with Gold recognizing 500,000 units sold/streamed and Platinum recognizing 1,000,000 units sold/streamed.

Maren is currently out on her "Girl" tour with shows in Michigan and Wisconsin this weekend.

She joins Miranda Lambert on her "Road Side Bars and Pink Guitars" tour in September.
