Megan Moroney said she was “freaking out” about secret album details when she prank called her creative director.
Moroney, who turned 28 on Thursday (October 9), also pranked her mother, her best friends and country star Kenny Chesney on ELLE’s Phoning It In. She told creative director CeCe Dawson, “I’m freaking out because I listened to the album from top to bottom and I just have a gut feeling ['secret album color' redacted]. I’m not kidding.”
Dawson said she was “gonna throw up...are you sure?”
Moroney told her she was positive that she wanted to change the album artwork and title. But soon, Dawson caught on, and the Am I Okay? star confirmed it was just a prank.
“I literally — my heart — literally I have a tear streaming down my face, like, ‘OK!’ And I don’t think I’m gonna be able to sleep tonight because I think I’ve just been traumatized,” Dawson replied. “But anything for the album.”
Moroney, who apologized in the comments on Instagram, has not announced her highly-anticipated third studio record as of publication time on Friday (October 10); however, she released her first-ever live album as her headlining tour comes to an end.
“I’ve decided the only way I can possibly come to terms with this chapter ending is knowing that we’ll have the entire show to listen back to whenever we want… and we get to relive these memories forever,” the reigning Country Music Association New Artist of the Year wrote in a caption on Instagram when she announced the live album hours before its debut. “This tour is permanently burned into my brain & has given me some of the happiest times of my life. To all my emo cowgirls/cowboys, my rockstar band & my incredible touring crew… thank you for bringing your heart into this show with me night after night.”
