It’s been quite the remarkable few years for Megan Moroney. Since releasing her debut album three years ago, she’s quickly risen to the top ranks of the most popular women in country music with such hits as “Tennessee Orange,” “Am I Okay,” “Six Months Later” and “Beautiful Things.”

In March, her third studio set, Cloud 9, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 all-genre albums chart, making it the first country album by a woman to reach the pinnacle on the chart since Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter in April 2024, and making her only the 10th women to top the chart with a country album this century.

She followed that with receiving nine nominations for the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards, the most nods received by an artist in a single year.

On Friday night (May 29), the Emo Cowgirl reached another first: kicking off her first arena headlining tour with a sold-out show at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio. Just as she kept all her outfits in different shades of blue for 2025’s Am I Okay outing, Cloud 9 brought out all manner of pink costumes, including a pink sparkly short onesie with silver fringe and a delicate sheer light pink gown with silver appliques.  

The energetic show drew from all her albums, but focused largely on Cloud 9, with 15 of the 23 songs coming from the set. In her surprise song slot, she slid in “Hair Salon,” which has now become a fan favorite since it came out on her 2022 EP, Pistol Made of Roses.

The tour moves to Indianapolis Saturday (May 30) and then two sold-out nights at Chicago’s United Center. The U.S. leg concludes at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena Aug. 21-22 before heading to Europe.

Below is a full set list from opening night.
