Megan Moroney got her big break in country music after her “Tennessee Orange” song went viral in 2022. The song tells the story of a football rivalry turned love story when a Tennessee fan and a Georgia fan fall in love. Megan Moroney grew up in Douglasville, Georgia.

Megan Moroney later clarified her relationship with Morgan Wallen. She said they were never officially dating but had a brief connection.

She revealed on social media that she was releasing a Live album from the concerts. “I’ve decided the only way I can possibly come to terms with this chapter ending is knowing that we’ll have the entire show to listen back to whenever we want… and we get to relive these memories forever,” she wrote.

“I definitely, well, not everyone, actually. But the people, like, ‘Heaven By Noon,’ I like let my aunt know, I called her. and ‘The Girls,’ obviously I showed my friends. They were in like the lyric video canvas teaser thing, so they knew,” she said.
However, when it comes to her breakup anthems, she keeps it to herself. “But like as far as me writing about my ex-boyfriends, I usually don’t give them heads up,” she admitted.
Megan Moroney’s candid admission about her songs sparked curiosity from one fan. They asked, “Spill the tea Megan, who are your songs really about?” But the singer is keeping that to herself, at least for now.
