While only spending a few years in country music, Megan Moroney wasted little time making a name for herself. Just over the last two years, the singer released albums like Lucky and Am I Okay?. Looking over her list of hit songs, they included “I’m Not Pretty” and “Tennessee Orange.” Not only gaining a faithful following, but Moroney caught the eye of Kenny Chesney, who invited her to go on the road with him. Excited for the chance, it seemed that fans received a special treat when the singers shared their last performance on the Sun Goes Down tour.
