Megan Moroney Plays PPG Paints Arena (Tues., 6/16/26)

Who is Megan Moroney anyhow? She looks like a fashion-and-beauty influencer. Or like what used to be called a blonde bombshell. But she’s plenty smart and she doesn’t drop bombs, just the kinds of hit songs that won her the 2024 Country Music Association Award as New Artist of the Year. Moroney started playing music while a student at the University of Georgia. In UGA’s business school, she did internships through the school’s special Music Business program, which served her well when she moved to Nashville after receiving her bachelor’s degree in 2020. Soon she was recording in earnest and signing contracts, then made a splash with her debut album, Lucky, on the Sony label in 2023. Moroney writes her own songs, sometimes working with co-writers, and it sure has worked out. Her third studio album, Cloud 9, shot clear to the top of the Billboard 200 chart early this year. Now Megan Moroney brings her Cloud 9 Tour to PPG Paints Arena. Guest artists are singer-songwriters JP Saxe and Solon Holt. 7 p.m. 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown. (M.V.)
