Megan Moroney

Women had been overlooked in the country music genre for quite a while. They have been under appreciated for the beautiful pieces they produced. However, starting with Dolly Parton, we have been seeing a rise in female country artists and their fan bases have been growing rapidly. Faith Hill and Carrie Underwood are other examples of extremely famous and successful women in the country music industry. 

Megan Moroney

The newest example of this is Megan Moroney. 

Originally from Georgia, Moroney has rapidly gained success with her newest album and is on top of the charts in the country music genre. She debuted in May 2023, after releasing singles for the previous couple of years. 

Her debut was a rapid success, putting Moroney on the map. Her album included sad songs, happier songs, and angry songs, all with the same country feel that she learned from her roots in Georgia. Moroney has a beautiful singing voice and incredible songwriting ability, which sets her up for success in this industry. 

Her second album was released in July 2024 and was an even bigger success than the first one. Her songs vary from being about love, heartbreak, friendship, and angry songs where she responds to critics. Her lyrics are relatable yet profound and detailed to Moroney's own experiences which gives an enjoyable listening experience to her audience. 

One of her most popular songs is called "The Girls". In this song, she talks about her positive experience in her deep female friendship and sings about relatable experiences. That song in particular is unusual from a lot of other country songs which makes it a hidden gem. 

In addition to being an amazing singer and writer, Moroney is a natural performer. I saw her open for Kenny Chesney last April and she had a phenomenal stage presence. Her outfits were unique and show-stopping. She commanded the stage and sang beautifully. 

An exceptional part of her performance was her interaction with fans. She was constantly talking to the fans in between her songs and showed extreme gratitude to her fans for being successful. Her humility and humbleness make her so likable and respectable.

 She is beautiful, talented, and successful but she still shows grace and gratitude for the people who have contributed to her success. 

She regularly interacts with fans online and gives particular praise to her shout-out to women in her same sorority, Kappa Delta. It is remarkable how humble she is considering her huge successes and she has never strayed from who she is at heart.
