PLATINUM artist-songwriter Megan Moroney is in her LUCKY era as she wraps a week in Los Angeles complete with a media blitz of bucket-list firsts.
Kicking off last Tuesday (10/10), Moroney appeared at The GRAMMY Museum® in Los Angeles as part of its illustrious SPOTLIGHT series. Held at the museum’s Clive Davis Theater, the SOLD-OUT event featured an intimate conversation (moderated by her producer Kristian Bush) about Moroney’s music, creative process, and more. The discussion opened to an audience Q&A, sparking a series of heart first questions about her songs and her life, alongside asks to take selfies and appear in a fan’s BeReal. Moroney closed out the night with a six-song set during which she performed “Why Johnny” and unreleased track “No Caller ID” solo acoustic.
Moroney then brought the star power on Wednesday (10/11) to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! as she “dazzles on stage” (iHeart Country) performing her first No. 1 single, “Tennessee Orange” in a custom gold dress for her anticipated late-night TV debut.
Finishing off the week, she commanded the iconic Troubadour Friday night (10/13) as part of her SOLD-OUT THE LUCKY TOUR. Performing every song off her debut album LUCKY (Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records), the packed crowd went wild to fan-favorites such as show-opener “Another on the Way,” “Traitor Joe,” current chart-rising single “I’m Not Pretty,” plus the brand-new track “Nothin’ Crazy,” off her newly released LUCKY (DELUXE EDITION) as well as a cover of Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”
“This is my first show in L.A. and you all show up like this,” Moroney reflected from stage. “I know it takes a lot for you to get here tonight… you made signs, bought outfits, Ubers, and drinks. And it means so much. You are making a Georgia girl feel real loved.”
Following a massive sing-along to “Tennessee Orange,” the star on the rise left fans wanting more after closing the night with “Lucky.”
The weekend continued with California stops in Bakersfield (10/14) and Golden Sky Festival in Sacramento. Upcoming dates on THE LUCKY TOUR include Denver, CO (10/19), Salt Lake City, UT (10/20), and Grand Junction, CO (10/21). For all tour dates and ticket information, click here.

Co-hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, the show will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on November 8 at 8/7c on ABC. She has also been named on several top-tier outlets GRAMMY predictions lists as a nominee contender, including HITS Grammy Chew: Best New Artist, Billboard, Music Times, and more.
