About this episode

Megan Moroney discusses her journey in country music, from small gigs to topping the Billboard 200.

Today’s guest is one of the fastest-rising voices in modern country — a songwriter whose honesty, wit, and emotional precision have turned deeply personal stories into songs heard everywhere. She just became the 10th woman of the century to top the Billboard 200. Before the sold-out shows and chart-topping records, she was a college student playing small gigs with her dad and brother, trying to figure out where music might fit into her life. One honest song at a time, she began building a catalog that feels both timeless and unmistakably her own. Now, with a growing fanbase and a string of hits helping shape the sound of modern country, she’s writing the next chapter of her career in real time. And The Writer Is… Megan Moroney!
