Today, Megan Moroney officially earned her first career Platinum single from the RIAA with “Tennessee Orange.”
Written by Moroney, along with Ben Williams, David Fanning and Paul Jenkins, the song was first released on September 2nd of last year, right before the Volunteers defeated Georgia Tech, 42-41 in overtime.
Tennessee Orange quickly blew up on Tik-Tok, and after much speculation, Megan did an interview with SiriusXM’s “The Highway,” where she confirmed that the Vols shirt she was wearing in her Instagram post was, in fact, Morgan Wallen’s shirt.
Fast forward a few months and Megan is now signed to Sony Music Nashville, made her Opry debut and her first album, “Lucky,” comes out on May 5th.
Congrats to Megan with her first single to officially move over 1 million units. Something tells me she’s going to have a long and successful career in Country music.
