CMA new artist of the year Megan Moroney continues to take her fame to new heights, as she lands on the cover of April’s Rolling Stone.
It’s a rare feat for a country artist, with an accompanying article filled with praise, titled “Megan Moroney Is the Gen Z Country Queen We Need.”
“She’s song-oriented. … She couldn’t care less about being a celebrity,” Kenny Chesney says of his recent tour mate. “She cares what her music means to people — and making sure they get the best of everything she does.”
Megan’s producer, Sugarland‘s Kristian Bush, also weighs in: “She’s brave as f***. I can’t believe she puts some of these things in her songs.”
While the article reveals Megan has a new tour bus, complete with sliding electric doors, a walk-in closet and a fireplace-esque heater, it’s also decidedly low-key, starting with a Friday night trip to the mega gas station known as Buc-ee’s: “The promised land!” Megan calls it.
It goes on to delve into the 27-year-old’s past as a successful influencer, one that eventually led to her getting offers from 18 different labels before signing with Sony.
“I have worked my a** off,” Megan says. “But I will say that the positive things have happened quicker than I expected them to, which is nice. … It’s funny, because this used to be a hobby for me, and now it’s my whole life.”
