Megan Moroney Reveals She's "Never Been More Single"

Megan Moroney, Nashville's newest darling, has taken Music City by storm with her No. 1, double platinum hit ‘Tennessee Orange’ from her debut album Lucky. Now, she’s set to release her second record, 'Am I Okay?' just over a year later.

“This version of Megan has way fewer days off! I thought that Megan was busy, and now it's like my whole entire life is planned out until 2026," the Academy of Country Music award-winner tells a magazine.

"I feel like everything has been taken up a notch." Currently on Kenny Chesney's Sun Goes Down tour, Moroney has branded herself as a proud “emo cowgirl,” embodying a unique blend of wearing her heart on her sleeve and occasionally oversharing, all of which she skillfully showcases on her new record.

“I am pretty emotional. But with the amount of sad songs on the album, I think there's also enough songs that are empowering and confident, and I think that those two different sides of the spectrum are very real," she says. "Some days I wake up and I feel so confident, and then other days I wake up and I try not to text him, you know what I mean?”

Moroney confesses that her red-hot career has taken precedence over dating. “I really don't have time for it right now,” she says. “I tried dating for a second and then I quickly realised that now is not the time. I think in the album you get that vibe. The love songs were very short-lived!” Instead, Moroney dedicates her free time to her friends and family, whom she credits for keeping her grounded.

“As far as my everyday life, I feel like it's not that different. My best friends are still my best friends, and they are not in the music industry, so they make me feel very normal," she says, before adding with a laugh, "and I’m still calling my mom three times a day."
