On July 31st, country music outlets and gossip websites reported that Megan Moroney dropped a bombshell during a podcast appearance. Depending on how invested you are in this, it’s jaw-dropping.
After a long time of Megan denying she ever dated Morgan Wallen, she’s finally speaking out. It sounds like Megan set the record straight about those Morgan dating rumors that helped launch her career in 2022. Whiskey Riff reported that Megan recently appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, and her interview with podcast host Alex Cooper got “juicy.”
The U.S. Sun reported that Megan’s episode, which was released on July 31st, was scandalously titled “Cheating, Cowgirls, and Chaos.” The Sun wrote that Alex threw Megan “for a loop” when she changed the conversation and asked Megan “what happened” with her and Morgan “about 30 minutes into the episode.” Whatever happened, you might not believe it because Megan actually spilled the tea about Morgan after both of them dodged the real truth for so long.
Quick backstory: The cover art for Megan’s breakout song, “Tennessee Orange,” shows her wearing a T-shirt with the Tennessee Volunteers logo. Morgan’s fans and followers online debated whether it was the same T-shirt he had worn on stage. If Megan was, in fact, wearing a piece of Morgan’s clothing, that meant they had to have dated, right?
In November 2022, Whiskey Riff reported that Megan finally confirmed she was wearing Morgan’s shirt on her cover art. That bombshell alone was juicy enough at the time.
Alex Got the Truth Out of Megan
Whiskey Riff wrote that the rumor mill kept “buzzing” after Megan admitted it was Morgan’s t-shirt. However, neither “confirmed or denied” dating rumors until Megan appeared on Call Her Daddy.
So, how did Alex get the real truth out of Megan? Whiskey Riff wrote that Alex got Megan to dish about “all things boys, music, life, and more.” Megan definitely got into “more” with Alex.
At one point during their discussion, Megan mentioned the anonymous guy in her sad song, “Sleep On My Side.” That led to Alex asking Megan what Whiskey Riff called the “burning question in viewers’ minds.” Do you want to take a wild guess?
Alex had the nerve to ask Megan the question she’d probably heard a million times before and never answered. She asked Megan if she ever dated Morgan Wallen. Shockingly, Megan answered that question in probably the strangest way possible.
Megan told Alex that she “never exclusively” dated Morgan. Come again?
Alex really has a way of getting her guests to dish on everything during her podcast. Whiskey Riff reported that Megan and Alex “burst into a fit of giggles” after Megan dropped her first bombshell.
It sounded like viewers were eavesdropping on secrets between two girlfriends. Alex and Megan joked on air that they could wrap the interview up there, except they didn’t.
Shockingly, Megan explained why she hadn’t revealed a hint of the real truth about dating Morgan until now. This is another bombshell besides her claim that they were “never” exclusive.
Megan Never Had a Relationship with Morgan
Megan told Alex that she’d “tried so hard to avoid the Morgan dating rumors” in every single interview she’d ever done. But somehow, Alex got her to spill the beans.
Then, Megan admitted why she’s dishing on this in 2024. She told Alex, “We are here now; time has passed, and all is [still] well.” But Alex wasn’t done pressing Megan to drop another bombshell.
As Whiskey Riff wrote, Alex asked Megan “how” she got together with Morgan and how on Earth they managed to keep their allegedly casual relationship “so private.” That’s when Megan set the record straight on one thing.
Megan told Alex that whatever it was with Morgan was “never a relationship.” Then, Megan gave in a bit and said, “Okay, here’s what I’ll tell you.”
Shockingly, she claimed, “I have never told anyone this, ever.” Hold on tight because Megan made quite the confession.
She confirmed to Alex that she met Morgan “in 2020.” A friend of Megan’s named John Langston “actually introduced” her to Morgan.
Even though Megan didn’t know it then, 2020 was a crazy year to meet Morgan. She explained to Alex that she was a “senior in college” when she was introduced to Morgan, and “COVID hadn’t happened yet.”
She narrowed the timeline down more when she told Alex that Morgan’s Dangerous album “wasn’t even out yet.” Then, Megan’s explanation gets a bit more mysterious.
Morgan Allegedly Broke Megan’s Heart
She told Alex that she and Morgan “were friends for a long time.” She added, “It’s what, 2024, that was 2020.” After she said that, Megan dropped a smaller bombshell. It was just as explosive.
She alleged that she and Morgan “were not just friends,” although Megan felt it necessary to add that they were “never officially dating.” If you’re a bit confused about what this all means, what Megan said next will shock you.
Megan revealed to Alex that if “anyone” can be “overly sensitive” and “get their heart broken” over what allegedly happened, she said, “It’s me.” Alleging that Morgan broke her heart is juicy enough, but Megan also spilled the tea on how they kept whatever it was “private.”

Megan said it wasn’t difficult to see Morgan on the down low. Besides, their hectic schedules only “lined up for them to hang out a day here and there,” according to Whiskey Riff. After that, Megan got even more real.
She told Alex that she “honestly” felt “awkward talking about” Morgan since “he’s such a private person.” If that’s the truth, why did Megan and Morgan flirt so publicly on social media?
Morgan’s Tennessee Shirt Felt Wrong on Megan
In 2022, while promoting her debut album and first headlining tour, Whiskey Riff reported that Megan stopped by The Highway on SiriusXM. Megan was “pressed” during her interview on who she got the Tennessee Vols t-shirt from.
Whiskey Riff confirmed what Morgan’s fans and followers know. He’s a huge Vols fan. When Megan was introduced to country music with “Tennessee Orange,” Morgan shocked everyone by commenting on Megan’s social media posts “in a pretty flirtatious way.”
While Megan finally confirmed on The Highway that Morgan had given her his Tennessee Vols shirt, she also alleged that it was “just a shirt.” Megan tried to set the record straight during this interview, but it still sounded fishy.
She claimed that Morgan’s “Tennessee shirt” just “felt wrong” when she put it on. Remember what Megan told Alex? She was a senior at the University of Georgia when she claimed she met Morgan.
Putting on a Tennessee Vols t-shirt must have felt “wrong” for Megan because the Vols are the football team at the University of Tennessee. The Georgia-Tennessee football rivalry is notorious in college sports.
Megan told The Highway that putting on Morgan’s Vols shirt felt so “wrong” it would “either be a funny story or a good song to write about.” That’s when Megan claimed she “came up with the hook” for her first hit, “Tennessee Orange,” when she sings, “In Georgia, they call it a sin, I’m wearing Tennessee Orange for him.”
Megan Won’t Reveal Who Her Songs Are About
Now that Megan has officially confirmed that she was more than friends with Morgan, her fans and followers will probably assume that “Tennessee Orange” is about Morgan. Is that the real truth?
As Whiskey Riff reported, Megan has never made a point of “naming” former boyfriends—or whatever Morgan was—in her songs. But then, another rumor started online after Morgan released the song “Lies, Lies, Lies” in March 2024. Whiskey Riff reported that “people” were “convinced” that Morgan dropped “Lies, Lies, Lies” about Megan after she released her song “No Caller ID.”
Whiskey Riff quoted Megan saying she wasn’t “the kind of person” who “likes to talk’ about her exes in her music. She added, “All my songs are about people.”
While she called “Tennessee Orange” a “very nice song,” Megan explained that “Sleep on My Side” is “not a nice song!” That was Megan’s excuse for not wanting to tell anyone what—or who—her songs were about.
The lyrics in Morgan’s song discuss heartbreak and the “90 proof is telling me lies, lies, lies.” Megan’s song, “No Caller ID,” includes heartbreaking questions like “Why do you do it? Do you just hate losin’?” She sings, “Here you come again, who could it be? It’s 3 a.m., no caller ID.”
