Megan Moroney shines bright in 2 different looks for 2024 CMA Awards Jacqueline Laurean Yates, 11/21/2024 Megan Moroney dazzles at the 2024 CMA Awards with two stunning outfits, including a cobalt blue mermaid gown and a sparkling mini dress. After winning new artist of the year, she reflects on her journey from college student to rising country star. Don't miss her upcoming tour starting March 2025! The 27-year-old breakout star, who was nominated for three awards, including music video of the year, new artist of the year and female vocalist of the year, donned not one but two vibrant looks for country music's biggest night.
Ahead of this year's show, she graced the red carpet wearing a vibrant mermaid-style cobalt blue dress that was custom-designed by Christian Siriano.
Her fabulous frock included a fitted sleeveless top and a full tulle skirt bottom.
She finished the look with several rings, smoky eye makeup, and voluminous blonde wavy curls.
The "Am I Okay" singer later performed her hit song in a totally different look.
Moroney switched into a dazzling metallic halter peplum mini dress that included loads of crystals throughout. She topped the look off with white cowboy boots.
After Moroney's glowing performance, she changed back into her original red carpet dress. While wearing the look, the "I'm Not Pretty" singer accepted the CMA Award for new artist of the year.
She thanked her fans, her team, and several others during her acceptance speech.
Reflecting on her win and receiving the honor, Moroney said it was "really insane to me."
Just a little over four years ago, she was a student at the University of Georgia.
"I do think that living those four years and having a normal college experience helped me. It helps me write songs," she told "GMA's" Lara Spencer backstage after the CMAs. "I feel like it might make me more relatable, too, because I know what it's like to be ..."
"Angsty?" Spencer asked.
"Heartbroken by a frat guy, you know what I mean?" Moroney added.
The country music star is slated to go on her "Am I Okay?" tour across America starting in March 2025 and will continue through the fall.
