With singles like “You Had To Be There” and “Six Months Later” making waves among country music lovers as we speak, fans are anxiously awaiting the announcement of “emo cowgirl” Megan Moroney’s third studio album.
From speculating its color scheme to its collaborations and beyond, it’s safe to say everyone is on the edge of their seats!
For those who need a refresher, Moroney’s debut EP, Pistol Made of Roses, dropped in July of 2022, followed by her debut studio album, Lucky, in May of 2023. More recently, the Georgia native dropped her second studio album, Am I Okay?, in July of 2024, followed by its deluxe version later that year.
Dropping a project annually (besides 2025), fans are confident that her highly-anticipated third studio album will be arriving before the end of the year…
Taylor Swift — one of Moroney’s biggest musical inspirations — is known for dropping Easter eggs ahead of album announcements, and based on some social media sleuthing, it looks like Moroney may be following in her footsteps.
Teasing that she will announce her third studio album on October 9, keep scrolling for all the signs that point to this date.
On social media, Moroney has been caught using the number nine time and time again, leading to speculation that she will announce her third studio album on October 9. Examples of this are using exactly nine emojis in the caption, exactly nine photos in the carousel and more, but some are far more obvious than others.
In her August 11 Instagram post — toasting to the end of her summer shows — she typed out a heart using nine threes in the caption: “summer camp ended last night in IL! thank y’all for coming out & seeing us💘 my amazinggg band, touring crew & I get a month off the road but we’re looking forward to seeing yall again in september 🫶🏼💘 these shows have been totally unforgettable THANK YOU<333333333”
She doubled down in her September 21 Instagram post — sharing some highlights from the week, including a recent San Francisco 49ers game — with one of the images featuring a 49ers jersey, with “Moroney” and the number nine emblazoned on the back.
Last but certainly not least, she started teasing the number nine via her TikTok profile as well, sharing a post just days ago captioned “9 pics for 9 more shows 🥹 best time of my life.”
Topping things off, October 9th is the “Tennessee Orange” singer’s birthday and the day before the she begins the final weekend of shows of her Am I Okay? Tour. What better time to begin a brand new era?
Fans clocked this in the comment section of the TikTok video, with one fan writing, “GUYS HEAR ME OUT. MEG POSTED A 10 ON HER INSTA STORY AND A 9. 10/9 IS HER BIRTHDAY SO SHE MIGHT ANNOUNCE AN ALBUM”
Is this theory true, though? Needless to say, we will be keeping up with the talented singer/songwriter on Instagram and TikTok for any further updates.
