Maren Morris Names Her Tennis Team After Dolly Parton

Maren Morris is an avid tennis player and recently, Maren asked her fans on Twitter for name suggestions for her team.

She wrote in her first post, “Y’all… after 2 years I am finally playing my first tennis match this week. It’s going to be TRULY terrible, but I need help with a team name. Slice Girls has already been taken.”

Morris then posted, “Ok, “Sets in the City,” “Backhand Music,” “A Serve for Everything,” and “Backhanded Compliments” feel like they might be frontrunners.”

After a bit of time and many suggestions from fans, Maren came up with a winner. She wrote, “Alright, after careful consideration and consulting my team; we are THE VOLLEY PARTONS. Thank you to all who contributed.”
