Megan Moroney Breaks Down in Tears Onstage, Forced to Cut Denver Concert Short
Country music star Megan Moroney had to abruptly end her concert in Denver, Colorado, on Tuesday night after falling ill mid-performance. The 28-year-old “Tennessee Orange” singer was headlining at Ball Arena as part of her ongoing Cloud 9 Tour when she became too sick to continue.

She recently launched exclusive merchandise, including a 32 oz. tumbler bedazzled with hot pink rhinestones (priced at $99) and a clear glittery pink cup with matching lid and straw featuring her signature.
