Country music artists often support fellow artists by appearing as guest performers on tours. So, Megan Moroney, appearing as Kenny Chesney’s surprise guest, doesn’t really come as a surprise.
Megan Moroney and Kenny Chesney’s Friendship
During his Flora-Bama show on Saturday, April 18, Chesney surprised attendees by bringing out the “Who Hurt You” singer for a performance. The two have been friends since Moroney opened for Chesney on his 2024 Sun Goes Down Tour. Since then, they have constantly been upping one another in grand gestures of heartfelt friendship.
On her 28th birthday, the “She’s Got It All” singer surprised Moroney by giving her a guitar autographed by Dolly Parton. Moroney shared the photo of the cherry-colored guitar, with Parton’s signature and message: “To Megan Love Dolly Parton” clearly visible. She wrote in the photo (via Instagram Stories) and tagged Chesney, “@kennychesney with the most insane bday gift. A vintage 1984 Hummingbird signed by Dolly. Screaming, crying, throwing up,” with crying emojis.
Of course, Moroney reciprocated during his Country Music Hall of Fame Induction by performing “Knowing You,” Chesney’s hit from 2021. The Tennessee native was absolutely floored by Moroney’s tribute since he thought she was in Australia at the time. She postponed her flight to appear at the ceremony.

“You Always Light up the Stage”
At her surprised appearance, Moroney performed “All the Pretty Girls,” as well as their duet “You Had To Be There.” Chesney expressed his gratitude for Moroney in a social media post. “Thanks to everyone for caring about the songs, the music and the experience of it all. Special thanks to @MegMoroney for being there. You always light up the stage. Love you”.
