Megan Moroney clocked in for a shift at Raising Cane's this past week. It was at a popular establishment in Athens, Georgia, that Moroney served fans food and discussed Cloud 9. Joined by Raising Cane's founder, Todd Graves, Moroney touched on how "full circle" it was to be collaborating with one of her "dream brands."

Graves and Moroney shared inspirational words with the college students at the event. "We're talking about what you wanna do, and we both had our dream that we're living now when we were your age and when we were in college." The CEO of the chain then spoke for both of them. "We both think collectively the best thing you can do is always believe in yourself and never, never give up."
Megan followed this by talking about perseverance. "And I will just say, I'm assuming a lot of y'all are students, and when I was a student at Georgia, the dream of doing this was definitely on my heart, but it felt so, so far away, still." She admitted, "The reality is that I had no idea what I was doing yet."
How Megan Moroney Went From Sorority Girl to Major Success
As a student at the University of Georgia, Megan had a lucky start. However, according to her, she felt she had a long way to go before achieving success. While just a college student, Moroney opened for country singer Chase Rice at the Georgia Theatre. The reason? Her sorority sisters needed an entertainer for their Panhellenic event.
It was there that Moroney played her first original song, "Stay A Memory", which she wrote for that show specifically. This made her realize that music was something she wanted to take seriously. Now, she's a country star, and she's up for six CMAs this year, many of which are tied to the success of her last project, Am I Okay?.
Moroney recently announced that her third studio album, Cloud 9, would be dropping next year on February 21. She teased this with a fun reel on Instagram, where the screen changed colors from blue to pink. Going into her new era, where she says she's the "most confident" version of herself yet, Moroney has some advice for all the budding dreamers out there.
"The most important thing is that, if you really, really want it," Megan reveals, "do it until it works and don't give up."
