"Email me back!:" Megan Moroney Reveals A Potential Ed Sheeran Collab May Be In The Works

Back in March, pop titan Ed Sheeran took a bit of a tour around Music City, performing a host of surprise pop-up shows at Robert's Western World, Santa's Pub alongside fellow hitmaker Noah Kahan and a special round with country starlet Megan Moroney at the iconic Bluebird Cafe.

Now, a few months later during an interview with Audacy's Katie Neal, Moroney shared how it all came together as well as the potential for an Ed Sheeran collab in the future.

"I was supposed to go on vacation that weekend to the beach, but I got a call saying that Ed Sheeran wanted me to play with him at the Bluebird on a Sunday night. I was like, 'Well, I won't be going on vacation. You don't tell Ed Sheeran no,'" she remembers with a laugh. "His team was just going on about how he's such a fan and he did know my songs at the Bluebird when I played them. I was like, 'Oh, he wasn't lying, that's crazy!'"

Explaining that the pair of talented tunesmiths have remained close since, she offered, "We email because he doesn't have a phone, but he's stayed in touch. He's on the list now of my dream collaborators. I think that would be really cool. I saw that he said he wanted to come to country so I was like, 'Email me back!'"

While walking the red carpet ahead of the 2025 American Music Awards last month, Moroney first revealed that she'd love to collaborate with Sheeran, perhaps even featuring a duet on her heavily teased forthcoming record.

“Right now the only confirmed collab for the next album would be the Kenny song, but I've got a couple people in mind. I've been really inspired by Ed Sheeran's stuff, so I would love to do a song with him... This is not me teasing anything," she shared.

In a separate red carpet interview with Variety, the 'Tennessee Orange' hitmaker echoed those sentiments, saying, “I played the Bluebird round with him, and I've always loved and respected him. To meet him and then just see how much he loves songwriting, it was like two musical theatre kids getting together and being nerds. That's how I felt.

"I'm like, ‘Wow, he looks at songwriters the way I do when they have a crazy hook,'" she gushed. "I think it's especially cool because he's a worldwide superstar, so for him to still have that core of just loving songs, it just made me love him so much more. I would love to do a song with him.”

While we wait with baited breath to see what comes of this newfound friendship, Moroney has been busy posting a flurry of snippets of what we expect to be her next single, an infection tune titled 'Six Months Later.'

The track is set to join the Kenny Chesney-assisted ‘You Had To Be There’ and unreleased gems, ‘Beautiful Things’ and Heartbreaker,' on Moroney's momentous Am I Okay? follow-up album.
