The man who first introduced her to music is now watching her sell out arenas.
Megan Moroney kicked off her extensive Cloud 9 tour this weekend, and it looked like a heck of a show. Of course, there was tons of pink, blink and rhinestones, and the girl knows how to put on a show, that’s for sure.
She shared a recap video of all of the fun moments, and when she got off stage, her parents were waiting for her backstage, and it was a very sweet, emotional moment with her dad in particular, though from what I can tell in the video, her mom was shedding some tears, too.
Megan’s dad taught her how to play guitar when she was 16, as she had suffered a knee injury from cheerleading during her junior year of high school and was in a wheelchair, meaning she had a lot of down time she needed to learn how to play. Her brother also helped teach her, and she grew up in a musical family, so I can only imagine how proud they all are of her now.
She used to share videos of them playing together pretty often, and I’m sure it was a very proud, and full-circle moment, for Megan and her dad. She walked in and saw him getting emotional right away, and when she gave him a hug, she get pretty emotional, too:

She’s certainly come a long way, and had a ton of success in her career already, but to her mom and dad, she’ll always be that little Georgia girl:
