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.’”

In This Season of Giving, Mariah Carey Shares Throwback Clip From 1994 Manifesting a Potential Christmas Classic One Day: ‘So Grateful’

MC only had to wait 25 years for her all-time holiday classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mariah Carey is the undisputed Queen of Christmas. The pop singer has lorded over the holiday charts for the past six years with her ubiquitous wintertime classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It seems hard to believe it now if you’ve been anywhere near a store since Halloween, but the yuletide favorite that was released in 1994 did not chart until 2000 and did not hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until 2019, fully 25 years after it first hit our ears.

Now, as the holidays really ramp up, the best-selling Christmas song of all time in the U.S. seems like a no-brainer to top the charts every year. But on Tuesday (Dec. 9), MC gave thanks for how it all started in a throwback video she re-posted from a fan feed of an interview she did in 1994 in which she was asked if she hopes one of the songs from her first holiday album, that year’s Merry Christmas, might some day be as ubiquitous as such standards as “White Christmas” or “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
