“Get Me to God's Country”: Megan Moroney Hilariously Quotes Morgan Wallen Ahead of Nashville Double-Header

Megan Moroney is the latest country artist to reference Morgan Wallen's now-infamous “Get me back to God's country” Instagram post, following Wallen's contentious SNL appearance.

Alongside a new recap video, captured during one of Moroney's recent tour-stops in Georgia, the ‘Man on the Moon’ singer-songwriter playfully wrote, “Get me to God's country”.

Morgan Wallen shared his initial post as he was preparing to leave New York and return to his beloved Tennessee, so it feels apt that Megan Moroney has decided to echo his words as she gears up for her keenly awaited run of shows in The Volunteer State.

Tonight (Wednesday, April 9th) and tomorrow, Moroney takes the stage at Nashville's Pinnacle, before the Georgia prodigy brings her Am I Okay? tour to Knoxville's Civic Coliseum.

Although, on the surface of things, Megan Moroney's Morgan Wallen quote is a jovial nod to a cultural moment, the duo's intertwined past makes this all the more intriguing for fans.

When Megan Moroney first started teasing her break-out 2022 hit, ‘Tennessee Orange’, the up-and-coming artist sparked widespread rumours of a romance with Morgan Wallen. For instance, Moroney shared a photo of her wearing a Tennessee Volunteers jersey - which she references in the ‘Tennessee Orange’ storyline - with Wallen commenting, “Did we ever figure who's shirt that is?” before Moroney quipped, “It's mine now”. Moroney later confirmed the shirt was indeed Wallen's.

Last year, during an appearance on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, Megan Moroney touched on what happened with Morgan Wallen. When Cooper asked whether they dated, Moroney replied, “Never exclusively...I have tried to avoid that in every single interview I've ever done...but we're here now, and time has passed, and all is well”, before underlining, “It was never a relationship”.

There have been all sorts of fan-led theories and conjecture swirling around Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen over the past few years, with some even claiming Moroney wore a No. 16 Tennessee Volunteers jersey during one of her shows as a nod to a lyric form Wallen's much-loved If I Know Me stand-out, ‘Had Me By Halftime’ (“You had a 16 home-team jersey on / Singing every word to the ‘Fight Song’”). Moroney responded by stressing she was honouring Vols legend Peyton Manning.

Of late, that speculation has died down, with fans now scouring the internet for proof that Megan Moroney and another country star, Riley Green, are romantically linked. In her momentous Rolling Stone feature, Moroney shut down these rumours.

Either way, Megan Moroney's tongue-in-cheek “Get me to God's country” is an amusing, light-hearted nod to Morgan Wallen's SNL jibe, with the sense of anticipation remaining sky-high ahead of Moroney's Nashville double-header this week.

Last week, the University of Georgia alum performed an emotional homecoming show at the state's Akins Ford Arena, prompting Megan Moroney's good friend and 2024 tour-mate, Kenny Chesney, to pay homage, gushing, “So proud of you”.

Moroney continues to establish herself as one of the biggest artists in today's scene, with the ‘Break It Right Back’ crooner gearing up for her blockbuster third studio album.
