Country newcomer Megan Moroney will graduate from opening act to headliner when she plays Target Center in Minneapolis on July 25.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 12 via Axs.

Moroney grew up in Georgia in a musical family. She went on to study marketing and music business at the University of Georgia in Athens, during which time she interned for Kristian Bush of Sugarland. But performing was her true passion and, after graduating in 2020, she moved to Nashville.

Bush put Moroney in touch with other songwriters and she went on to release her first single, “Wonder,” and the EP “Pistol Made of Roses” in 2021. Bush produced her next single “Tennessee Orange,” which went viral thanks in part to social media posts showing Moroney wearing a T-shirt that belonged to Morgan Wallen. (They had a brief relationship and remain friends.)

The success of “Tennessee Orange” led to a deal with Sony. She has since released a pair of albums, “Lucky” and “Am I Okay,” which both hit the country music Top 10. Her hits include “I’m Not Pretty,” “Can’t Break Up Now” (with Old Dominion) and “You Had to Be There” (with Kenny Chesney).

More recently, Moroney issued the singles “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things” as teasers for her third album “Cloud 9,” which is due out in February.
