Megan Moroney on Her Six ACM Awards Nominations: ‘It Is a Dream to Be Nominated’


Moroney is up for ACM Awards accolades including female artist of the year and song of the year.

That’s in addition to her nominations as both writer and artist for her college football-framed, star-crossed romance single “Tennessee Orange” in the song of the year category. These six nominations are a testament to the rocket ride the Georgia-born singer-songwriter has been on since she began releasing songs such as “Hair Salon” and “Wonder.” But it was “Tennessee Orange” that went viral in 2022 and Moroney was quickly signed to Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records. All of it serves as evidence of the success of an artist who has managed to blend eye-catching, Southern-soaked glamour with live shows that have an intimate, confessional feel, and songs that poetically expose a spectrum of deep-seated emotions and musings.
