Megan Moroney: Kenny Chesney is My Best Friend!

Megan Moroney has shared the depth of her friendship with country music icon Kenny Chesney, describing him as her "best friend." This close relationship blossomed after Chesney invited Moroney to be an opening act on his 2024 Sun Goes Down Tour, an experience she credits with significantly advancing her career.

Moroney expressed immense gratitude for Chesney's "loud support" and mentorship, noting his willingness to feature her during his performances. As a token of appreciation, Moroney penned the song "You Had to Be There," gifting it to Chesney around last Christmas. She aimed for a sentimental gift for the artist who seemingly has everything.

The singer believes Chesney's advocacy among his industry peers played a crucial role in her winning the 2024 New Artist of the Year CMA Award. Chesney not only loved the song but also joined Moroney on the track, solidifying their collaborative spirit and Moroney's desire to immortalize their shared experiences through music.
