Megan Moroney is everywhere right now, and she’s earning every moment of it. This week alone she delivered a sold-out debut performance at Rodeo Houston in front of 72,220 people at NRG Stadium, sat down for her first appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, and appeared as a guest on the songwriting podcast And The Writer Is with Ross Golan. Cloud 9 is her Billboard 200-topping third album, and its rollout has been relentless in the best possible way.
The Rodeo Houston show was a statement. Moroney sold it out in under half an hour, arrived on stage in her Cloud 9-pink Bronco, and delivered a setlist stacked with country radio number ones including “6 Months Later,” “Am I Okay?,” and the 4x platinum “Tennessee Orange.” The Drew Barrymore Show appearance covered everything from bizarre ramen flavors to post-breakup payback to the scream-along catharsis of her live show, which she describes simply as “group therapy.”
The Ross Golan podcast conversation goes deeper, covering the life-changing accident that led her to music, the stories behind “Tennessee Orange” and Billboard Hot 100 hit “Beautiful Things,” and the details of her writing process. As the latest guest in a lineup that includes Julia Michaels, Jack Antonoff, and FINNEAS, Moroney holds her own and then some.
With over 5.1 billion global streams, a 2025 MTV VMA win for Best Country, New Artist of the Year at the 2024 CMAs, and a massive international Cloud 9 Tour on the horizon, Moroney has moved well past rising star territory. She is operating at the top of the format, and the numbers prove it.
