Megan Moroney doesn’t just sing country hits, she lives them. The breakout star, fresh off a whirlwind run of shows in Las Vegas, appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers this week, delivering laughs, behind-the-scenes tales, and a peek into the life of a modern country musician.
Flying in straight from Vegas, Moroney admitted the journey was “gnarly,” but her energy never wavered. When Meyers asked if she’d been gambling, she revealed a cheeky twist: she had brought along poker chips… with her own face on them. “It wasn’t good luck,” she joked. “It’s like they’re laughing in your face. George Washington’s like, ‘Congrats on your success… now we’ll take it.’”
The tour life isn’t always glamorous. Moroney recounted the horrors of freezing bus water after a Vegas show. “I had the little handheld thing, I’m bent over in the shower, just like, ‘I’m not doing this today,’” she said. Even in the city of lights and excess, the everyday struggles of a touring musician are real.
From Accounting to the Stage
Moroney’s journey to Nashville began in Atlanta, where she attended the University of Georgia with dreams of becoming an accountant like her mother. That plan changed her freshman year when she got the chance to open for Chase Rice at the Georgia Theatre. “After that first show, I said, ‘I don’t need college, I’m going to Nashville,’” she recalled. Her parents were shocked, but she compromised by switching her major to marketing and joining the music business program, a decision that combined ambition with respect for family.
Even family traditions run deep: Moroney shared that her grandfather’s casket was a University of Georgia model, showing that Georgia pride is more than a college football thing, it’s a way of life.
SEC Rivalries and Tennessee Orange
For fans of SEC football rivalries, Moroney shared the story behind her viral hit "Tennessee Orange". Inspired by a boy wearing Volunteers orange in her Georgia-dominated world, Moroney quipped, “I like this dude enough to not wear Georgia Red.” The song sparked social media blowback and “death threats,” but also proved her ability to turn humor and real-life moments into relatable, chart-topping music.
Heartbreak and Empowerment: 6 Months Later
Moroney also discussed her latest single, "6 Months Later", a breakup revenge anthem. With her signature wit, she described it as, “What doesn’t kill you calls you six months later.” The song blends heartbreak with empowerment, highlighting Moroney’s skill for transforming personal experience into universally relatable storytelling.
Between grueling tour schedules, playful Vegas adventures, and balancing personal and professional growth, Megan Moroney shows that modern country stardom is as demanding as it is glamorous. Yet she remains grounded, relatable, and unapologetically herself, a rare combination in any genre.
