Gaining thousands of views, fans loved the performance from Moroney, writing, “I’m convinced a Megan and Kenny song would change live (mostly mine).” Another person added, “You are my daughter’s whole world right now.

Kenny Chesney Excited To Watch Megan Moroney Expand Her Career
Although receiving high praise from fans, Moroney also caught the eye of Chesney. Having formed a friendship over the last year, Chesney loved the singer’s approach to country music. “She’s really good, and you know what’s crazy, is that Megan and I didn’t know each other this time last year, and we’ve both had conversations after touring with each other this summer, and I can’t imagine us not knowing each other now. That’s how crazy that is.”
Excited about what the future held for Moroney, Chesney also noted her growing fanbase. “She was so great out there…and she’s building her own beautiful, wonderful audience, and that’s exciting to watch. The amount of people coming to her own shows now, and the way she’s presenting herself, I don’t know, I think she has the opportunity to do exactly what she’s saying.”
While just getting her footing in country music, it seemed the future was wide open for Moroney to leave her mark in the music industry.
