Megan Moroney, the talented artist behind the hit “I’m Not Pretty,” captivated audiences at the 2024 CMA Awards, sharing insights about her upcoming performance and album. In an interview with On The Red Carpet, Moroney teased that her show will feature a “very blue, and very sparkly” vibe. She is particularly excited to perform the title track of her sophomore album, “Am I Okay?,” revealing that her stunning gown was a labor of love, taking an impressive 70 hours to bedazzle.
As she prepares for Country Music’s Biggest Night, Moroney highlighted what she believes defines a country song: honesty and storytelling. She emphasized that her music encapsulates a range of emotions, stating, “If you’ve been listening to my latest album, there’s a little bit of everything.” She describes tracks that inspire empowerment, like “Indifferent” and “Man on the Moon,” as well as more somber tunes that reflect her genuine feelings of sadness.
Moroney expressed her desire to create music that resonates with listeners, noting, “I think it’s just vulnerable and honest. I kind of just want to make music that people feel they can relate to.” Drawing inspiration from her own experiences with country music, she hopes that her songs provide a similar comfort to others.
Looking ahead, Moroney dreams of collaborating with renowned artist Chris Stapleton. As the anticipation builds for the 58th Annual CMA Awards, which airs at 8/7c on ABC, fans can catch the excitement of red carpet arrivals live from Nashville and stream the event on various platforms.
This event isn’t just a celebration of country music but also a testament to Moroney’s journey and the universal themes of connection and emotion in her work. With her promising career and deep understanding of storytelling, Megan Moroney embodies the heart of country music and continues to bring authenticity to the genre.
