Megan Moroney took home her first-ever MTV Video Music Award on Sunday, earning the title of Best Country for “Am Okay?” She also hit the stage at New York’s UBS Arena to perform her latest hit, “6 Months Later.”
Moroney was surprised with the iconic Moon Person trophy on the red carpet ahead of the star-studded CBS broadcast.
The Georgia native, who accepted the fan-voted honor with gratitude, admitted she has “the best fans in the world” when receiving the award.
“It’s amazing. I am feeling really at home. I have a song called ‘Man on the Moon’ that was on my album, Am I Okay? So getting a real Moon Man is way cooler than the HomeGoods one I got at an white elephant party this past Christmas,” Moroney shared with a laugh during an interview with Entertainment Tonight following her big win.
The 27-year-old took the Extended Play Stage, where she delivered a shortened performance of “6 Months Later.”
“I mean, we’re bringing some pedal steel and some country music to this stage. My outfit is inspired by the cover of six months later, so I’m really excited and it’s just going to be fun,” she teased. “Hopefully everyone’s going to be singing along.”
For her performance, Moroney wore cowboy boots and a lavender-and-white gingham dress, bringing her signature emo cowgirl energy to the stage.
Alongside Moroney’s set, the VMAs spotlighted performances from Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, and J Balvin. Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry joined Yungblud and Nuno Bettencourt for a tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.
Hosted by LL Cool J, the show honored several music icons throughout the night. Ricky Martin received the first-ever Latin Icon Award, while Busta Rhymes was recognized with the MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award. Earlier in the evening, Mariah Carey was presented with the prestigious Video Vanguard Award by Ariana Grande.
Top winners of the night included Lady Gaga, who earned four trophies, Ariana Grande with three wins, and Sabrina Carpenter, who also walked away with three awards.
Following her big night at the VMAs, Moroney will return to the road on her sold-out Am I Okay? Tour. Next up, the superstar will perform at Credit One Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina, and Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. The trek runs through mid-October.
