00:00So we're backstage, Amaranth Bank Arena, three nights in Florida in a row, three
00:04sellouts in a row with Megan Maroney. Megan, before we get to your music, before
00:08we get to Calliope. That's how you say it, right? That's how it goes for it?
00:12He's practiced a lot. I have. I nailed it. What's your current obsession in life, like the number one thing
00:17you can't stop thinking about that's kind of not music related, like a show or anything like that?
00:21Do you have anything? Legree. Okay. Which is a workout. Have you heard of that? No. I think it's
00:28Pilates, but harder. Yeah. Okay. Um, I think it's low impact, high intensity. I don't know. I don't really know,
00:35but very hard. Legree is hard. Yeah. Love Legree. Greenhouse nutrition. Loaded teeth. Are y'all on the loaded teeth?
00:42Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I saw all this. You've been posting about it. Yeah. I mean, like it's, it's an obsession.
00:46I've had two today. Okay. Like one with the protein and all the stuff and then just one for extra
00:50caffeine. Okay. Okay. Good. So we're, I'm learning. I want to be really healthy. Yeah. Very good. Very good. Sure.
00:56Okay. So let's get to the music.
00:58Obviously, uh, everyone is singing your music everywhere. I mean, like at high volumes, we know this, they dress like
01:03you, they're into the merch, everything. I mean, out there, it's like a pink explosion. Uh, you did do a
01:08little tease though. So we're obviously are here for the cloud nine tour. Is there like a deluxe album? Like
01:13you're kind of working on or something in this DL? Cause you are teasing stuff a lot, like a new
01:19unreleased song. So I'm wondering where that's going to go.
01:22Yeah. Sometimes I just go rogue and just tease stuff. Like I actually, um, my team didn't find out I
01:27did that until after. Oh, so I was like, Oh yeah. So I did. No, they're not mad. They're just
01:31confused. I guess. Um, but yeah, I kind of just tease whenever it feels right. I will say right now.
01:37I'm just focused on the tour.
01:38Okay. So yeah. Safe answer. Yeah. The U S tour is, uh, wraps up in Nashville on August 22nd. Then
01:45I go overseas and then I just know I'm going to be doing some crazy stuff and not that that
01:51crazy stuff is planned, but just cause I know myself and I'm like itching to do some crazy stuff.
01:56Okay. Okay. All right. I have a, I have a question though. So there, so someone that's growing up with,
02:01or my daughter is two and a half years old. She's not here right now because she would go crazy
02:04and everything, but she will be here at some point. Um, so many girls out there, young girls, girls of
02:09every age and not just girls, but the number one question I had when it comes to you as someone
02:13that has stepped into a role model persona. And I don't even know if you'd see yourself like that just
02:17yet, but you are for so many thousands of people.
02:20When it comes to social media and reading the comments and reading just about, cause you have everything said great
02:26at every side of it. And all these girls will too, at some point in their life, whether it's high
02:30school or whatever. What is your advice to those girls that are going through something like that right now? Just
02:35reading anything, reading the comments is kind of it.
02:38Well, truthfully for me, if I start to read a comment that's negative, I'm like, Nope, not today. I say
02:43it. And I'm not doing that. Um, so I don't even allow it into my orbit, but I actually have
02:49like gone to therapy over this because when I first started out, it was like really rough. Like I, I
02:54went from being like a normal college girl who just moved to Nashville to then like having thousands, tens of
03:01thousands of people have like perceived me. And I'm like, Whoa, I'm normal. Leave me alone, please.
03:06So it was like a lot. So I did go to therapy for it. And one thing that I learned
03:11is like, you know, you, there's things that exist out there and there's opinions that people have of you, but
03:17you don't want to like carry that with you. You know, it's kind of just like, um, I just kind
03:22of like let it like brush off.
03:24But it's kind of, you have to like, it take, it took me a long time to be able to
03:28get to that point. Cause it did used to like, I used to cry myself to sleep sometimes, but I
03:33feel like now when I see something like if, especially too, if I know like today is not the day
03:37that I'm like, nah, I'll get that shit out of here.
03:39Like, don't, I'm not reading that. And then if for some reason I do see something like, I think your
03:46brain immediately wants to internalize it, but I know that I've like worked through it. It's like my brain knows
03:52to like, don't set off. And I'm like, no, that's not my problem. My, how you feel about me is
03:58not my problem.
03:59So great. It's healthy. Yeah. Great answer. But I think it's going to help a lot of people too. Yeah.
04:04I really do. Okay. So I need to know, um, Kenny Chesney, you said the mariachi band.
04:08Um, it was fantastic. Uh, what made you a think of the mariachi band and B, did you have any
04:15idea? Did you pick the Feliz Navidad song or was that a surprise to you too?
04:19That was a surprise to me. Um, so I did the mariachi band thing just because I, it's really hard
04:25to surprise Kenny.
04:26Yeah. So you've got to really think outside the box. So, um, for, for whatever reason, that was what I
04:31came up with that day. I knew that he was just like kind of signing like, you know, he, I
04:36think he has to sign like 70,000 or something.
04:38And that gets really daunting. Yeah. So I just wanted to cheer him up. And so, yeah, mariachi band, I
04:42actually requested that they do.
04:44She thinks my tractor's sexy and they said no English songs. So we were like, okay, do whatever.
04:50Well, it's almost Christmas in July. Yeah. Do whatever's on the set list then. It's all you.
04:55That was hilarious. Um, he, yeah, he called after like dying. So I'm glad it cheered him up a little
05:00bit.
05:00I did. Uh, I think only a couple more questions. You had one about, okay, I need to know. So
05:04everyone now knows boots, uh, with the fur. Okay.
05:08We know how it, uh, how it came to be, but does Flo Rida know that it's after his hit
05:13song.
05:14No, I don't think so. He doesn't know. He hasn't reached out, but cause like he's from here.
05:18I think I saw him in a pink dress out there too earlier. Yeah. Bring him, bring him back.
05:24Yes. Like we should have told that would be an iconic, that would, that would be an iconic photo.
05:28You know what I'm going to do too. I'm going to put a picture of Flo Rida in her crate
05:31maybe.
05:31Yes. I'll be cute. Okay. And we can remember that.
05:34It's like framed in a gold ordinary. We made this happen.
05:36Okay. That's it. Uh, before we let you go,
05:39we always love leaving our show in our interviews with everything. Uh, a feel good story,
05:43something, your little amen that you have going on in your life,
05:45the thing you can't stop smiling about. What is Megan Maroney's amen?
05:49Um, I would say my most recent amen. I just got to hang out with my family and Charlotte
05:56and my little niece who I wrote beautiful things for was at the show. Um, she did sleep through
06:02the whole thing because she's almost three and she stayed up all day. So like the whole day,
06:07she's like lit for sound check. She's like walking around the stage, dancing with my microphone and
06:11stuff. And then like 7 PM hits and it's like knocked out. Um, but it was just so much fun
06:17to hang out with her all day. And I got to hang out with my brother, my sister-in-law,
06:22my parents
06:22were there. And then my nephew, we've like made it a thing where during my shows, he comes and does
06:28a guitar change. Yeah. He's like, I think he's 10. So it's very cool for him and it's fun for
06:33me.
06:33I get to feel like a cool amp. So that's my amen. My recent amen. Well, as soon as she
06:38gets
06:38older, she'd be like, Oh my God, that song's about me. She didn't tell all her friends. It's just,
06:42you know, it's just not there yet. Yeah, of course not. Yeah. That's awesome. Awesome. Amen. Amen.
