Country singer Maren Morris has booked a supporting slot on One Direction star Niall Horan's upcoming world tour after joining him in the studio for a new song.

The Irish pop star is a big fan of the My Church singer and personally invited her to sing his new track Seeing Blind as a duet for his debut solo album Flicker.

The two singers got along famously in the studio, prompting Niall to ask her to join him on the road.

Announcing the news on Friday (15Sep17) as he released the dates for his Flicker world tour on social media, Horan wrote: "I can't wait to get back on the road and play this album for you. And... my good friend the incredible @marenmorris is joining me for all of it."
