Megan Moroney's Triumph; Winning New Artist of the Year at the 2024 CMA Awards
Megan Moroney made headlines at the 2024 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards by winning the prestigious New Artist of the Year award. The ceremony took place on November 20, 2024, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, where Moroney also performed her hit song “Am I Okay?” just moments before her emotional acceptance speech.
The 27-year-old country star expressed her gratitude towards her fans, stating, “Thank you, Jesus, for putting this dream on my heart,” while holding back tears. She acknowledged her fans’ unwavering support, which included creating signs and waiting for hours outside venues. Moroney’s win marks a significant milestone in her career and adds to her accolades, including the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Award for New Female Artist of the Year earlier this year.
In addition to her CMA accolade, Moroney was nominated for three awards in total: Female Vocalist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for her song “I’m Not Pretty.” She competed against notable artists, but her talent and fan base shone through, ultimately leading to her triumph in the new artist category against contenders like Shaboozey and Nate Smith.
Moroney’s rapid rise in country music has been fueled by her successful debut album “Lucky,” released in 2023, and her recent sophomore album “Am I Okay?,” which debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200. The singer’s unique style, described as “emo cowgirl country,” appeals to a broad audience, with her single “Tennessee Orange” becoming a breakout hit last year.
At the awards ceremony, Moroney dazzled in a custom cobalt blue Christian Siriano gown that reflected the theme of her latest album. She showcased a dynamic performance, fully embodying her artistic vision.
With her accomplishments and a dedicated fan base, Megan Moroney is poised to continue her upward trajectory in the country music scene, further solidified by her upcoming “Am I Okay?” tour set to launch in March 2025.
