Megan Moroney Is on the 2026 TIME100 Next - Time Magazine

Megan Moroney has somehow figured out how to turn terrible men into extremely successful songs, which is both a talent and an incredible public service. 

I’ve gotten to sing onstage with Megan a couple of times, and to spend some time with her in Nashville after the shows—which gives me the credentials to confirm for everyone: she is exactly what you wish and hope her to be. She is genuinely so kind, smart, and witty—as just one night out with her will make clear. But what I love most about Megan is how purely herself she is. Throughout her latest album, she tells stories that are incredibly specific and personal, and somehow make millions of people swear she wrote them about their lives. That kind of songwriting is rare, and watching her connect with people through it is really special. There is no one more deserving of all the success she is having right now.
