Megan Moroney is adding a new title to her résumé: fragrance creator.
Fresh off celebrating her latest No. 1 hit, “Beautiful Things,” the country star has announced the release of Calliope, her debut fragrance.
Named after Calliope from Greek mythology, the eldest of the nine muses and the goddess of epic poetry, song and eloquence, the fragrance pays tribute to a figure whose name means “beautiful-voiced.” As the chief of the muses, Calliope was known for inspiring poets to preserve the triumphs, heartbreaks and enduring truths of the human experience through storytelling.
The fragrance is described as a “radiant floral musk” that blends peach blossom, jasmine, pink peony and warm mineral musk “for a luminous, addictive finish.”
“More than a fragrance, Calliope reminds us that often the most beautiful things come from broken pieces. An everyday wear with a lasting impression,” the website reads.
Calliope is available now for pre-order in the U.S., U.K. and EU. The 3.4-ounce bottle is priced at $55. Pre-orders are expected to ship by July 31 for U.S. customers and August 15 for customers in the U.K. and EU.
In a statement on the official fragrance website, Moroney revealed she has spent more than a year bringing the project to life and compared the creative process to writing songs.
“I’ve spent the last year and a half hand crafting the concept, scent and design of Calliope. Songwriting has been my way of making sense of life’s highs and lows. Every song I write comes from a real moment, a feeling, or a memory, and my hope has always been that by sharing those pieces of myself, someone else feels a little less alone. I truly believe that the experiences we carry, both the beautiful and the heartbreaking, become part of who we are. I think fragrance has the power to do the very same,” she explained. “Perfume is so much more than something you wear. A scent can instantly take you back to a moment you thought you’d forgotten, capture a feeling you never want to let go of, or become forever tied to a season of your life. It becomes part of first loves and fresh starts, celebrations and heartbreaks, and all of the little everyday moments that somehow stay with us forever. That’s exactly what I wanted Calliope to be.”
Moroney also shared the inspiration behind the fragrance’s pink heart-shaped bottle, which features the handwritten lyric “you shine” from her song “Beautiful Things.”
“Beyond the fragrance, the bottle is inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, the centuries-old practice of repairing broken pottery with gold or silver, embracing its cracks rather than hiding them. It’s a reminder that our imperfections and experiences become part of what makes us unique. Blending luminous florals with addictive warmth, Calliope feels both captivating and comforting. I wanted it to have an unforgettable first impression while leaving behind something softer that lingers, like a favorite memory you find yourself coming back to again and again. Calliope is more than my first fragrance. It’s a reflection of everything I believe about the moments that shape us. Meet Calliope.”
According to WWD, Calliope is launching direct-to-consumer first before reportedly arriving at retail stores later this summer.

Tierra Whack has released the new music video for “CANDLE WAX,” a track from her June mixtape WHACK’S MUSEUM. Directed by Child, the visual continues the Philadelphia artist’s run of videos tied to the project.
The video opens with Whack resting her head on a row of candles before moving to scenes at a dinner table and what appears to be a funeral repast, where she stands next to a child eating. Its imagery keeps the narrative open-ended, placing Whack in a sequence of staged settings rather than following a linear storyline. The release follows her recent video for “WHACK JOB,” which cast Whack as a garbage collector hauling away what appear to be bodies wrapped in trash bags.

WHACK’S MUSEUM marked what Whack described as her “first true rap project” when it was released in June. The 12-song mixtape includes no guest features, and its rollout has also included videos for “SIREN” and “WAX PAPER.” The project followed WORLD WIDE WHACK, her full-length album released in 2024, and extends a catalog that has often paired short-form songs with detailed visual concepts.
This Saturday, Tierra Whack is scheduled to perform at Complex Family Style in New York City. Last weekend, Whack joined Jill Scott for “Norf Side” at Philadelphia’s One Philly: Unity Concert for America, part of the city’s America 250th anniversary events. She also appeared with Tems during the 2026 BET Awards tribute to Ms. Lauryn Hill, where the two performed the Fugees’ “Fu-Gee-La” as Hill received the inaugural Living Legend Icon Award.
