Tate McRae had a special surprise for fans during her Nashville show on Tuesday night (Aug. 6).

The “Greedy” star took to TikTok to share that she brought out a surprise guest, Megan Moroney, and the duo performed Moroney’s breakthrough hit, “Tennessee Orange.” In the clip, the two singer harmonize on the chorus, singing together lyrics: “I met somebody and he’s got blue eyes/ He opens the door and he don’t make me cry.”


“Oh how I love her,” McRae captioned the post.

Last month, Moroney cleared the air about her rumored romance with fellow country star Morgan Wallen, whom “Tennessee Orange” is rumored to be about. While on the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper directly asked her if she dated the “Last Night” singer. “Never exclusively,” Moroney replied. “I have tried to avoid that in every single interview I’ve ever done. But we’re here now and time has passed and all is well.”

She declined to confirm if “Tennessee Orange,” is about Volunteers fan Wallen as speculated, but she explained that she met the star right before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 while she was a senior in college. “We were friends for a long time. We were not just friends. And now we’re friends,” she explained. “I feel like he’s a very private person. We weren’t exclusively dating ever and I think that both of our schedules… when we tried to hang out it was like, ‘OK, we have this one day of the whole month where we’re both maybe in town and then the other has something going on.’”

Weeks After Death, Dolly Parton Posthumously Accepts Lifetime Achievement Award in Video Message: ‘Just Know That I Will Always Love You’

Parton was honored at Wednesday night's (Sept. 16) 2026 Americana Honors & Awards, where Brandi Carlile covered her classic song "Coat of Many Colors."

Three weeks after her death at 80 following a brief battle with cancer, Dolly Parton made a surprise posthumous appearance at Wednesday night’s (Sept. 16) 2026 Americana Awards and Honors at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Before her passing on Aug. 25, Parton recorded a pre-taped message accepting the organization’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

The segment was introduced by Emmylou Harris, who talked about the “unthinkable” death of her friend, who she called a “a tiny, extraordinary woman” who made the world a “better, brighter and kinder place.” Harris recalled one of Parton’s many pearls of wisdom (the famously glam country icon, fittingly, actually called them “rhinestones of wisdom”), delivered as a four-part motto: “dream more, learn more, care more, be more.”
