Another influencer has entered the country music space.
Even if you’ve never watched the show, you’ve probably at least heard of the incredibly popular Hulu reality show “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which follows a group of young moms in Utah, who are also influencers and part of a group called MomTok. They first became known in pop culture because of Taylor, who went viral in 2022 when announced her divorce from husband Tate Paul and admitted to participating in “soft swinging” with some of the MomTok girls, and one of them is on the show now, a fan-favorite named Miranda.
Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota, made tons of headlines earlier this year when video surfaced from a video from 2023 getting released, which showed a volatile fight between Taylor and Dakota. Taylor was arrested in February of 2023 because of it, and police at the time noted video evidence suggesting a “minor child was injured by an action of Ms. Paul,” and she was charged with multiple offenses, including felony aggravated assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse and criminal mischief.
Her season of The Bachelorette was canceled in the fallout just days before it was supposed to premiere in March, and while it will likely never see the light of day (which is probably for the best considering how much she has to work on in her personal life), the show has never been more popular.
And fan-favorite MomToker Miranda, whose full name is Miranda Hope McWhorter, is getting ready to release her debut country single. I had no idea Miranda was a singer in any way, she’s never so much as hinted at it from what I can remember from the show, but on she announced that her song “FU4THAT” will drop on June 26th.
Quite a title…
She shared a very quick teaser of the song on her Instagram page, and while it’s literally four words and you don’t hear much of the song at all, it doesn’t sound all that country to me. I have to be honest, I really like Miranda on the show, so I’m willing to give it a chance… I mean, I’m not expecting her to be the next Dolly Parton by any means, but in terms of influencers getting into music, that’s just the world we live in these days.
I mean, it couldn’t be any worse than a lot of what’s on the radio these days:

In an interview with People, Miranda says that she’s really excited to share this part of herself, adding that “music has always been such a huge part of my life”:
“Sharing this part of myself with the world is both exciting and intimidating. Music has always been such a huge part of my life, and this project gave me an opportunity to tell my story in a completely different way.”
She added:
“I’m so proud of what we’ve created, can’t wait for people to hear it, and this is just the beginning.”
If you follow any of the MomTok drama (I’m pretty ashamed to admit that I do), then you know just how rough it’s been for Miranda, and like I said, she’s one of my favorites on the show. Do I think this is going to become my favorite song of all time? No, but there are much bigger issues in country and I can’t really hate on someone who got a platform and decided to pursue a dream.
