The Call That Changed Everything: Vacation Plans Derailed for a Dream Gig
When Ed Sheeran reached out to Megan Moroney for a special Nashville performance, she was about to head out for a hard-earned vacation. Instead, Moroney made a lightning-fast decision: the holiday could wait, Sheeran couldn’t. She told PEOPLE StyleWatch, “When Ed Sheeran calls and wants you to play a show with him, you drop everything” [People].
That invitation was to join Sheeran at the legendary Bluebird Cafe—a Nashville landmark where hitmakers are born and icons come to play. Moroney admits she initially thought the invitation might be a prank, but realized quickly this was the real deal. The result: a vacation swapped for a music industry moment that would spark new conversations—and fan dreams—about the potential for a major country/pop crossover.
A Night at The Bluebird: New Music, Old-School Vibes

Moroney left the Bluebird an even bigger fan of Sheeran, praising his down-to-earth nature and openness: “He’s just so down to earth, kind, and talented.” Sheeran confided that not only was he a fan, but so were his wife Cherry Seaborn and their two children, Lyra Antarctica and Jupiter [People].
Behind the Curtain: Song Swaps, Friendship, and a Growing Collaboration
After their surprise Nashville set, Moroney and Sheeran kept the connection alive—with emails and private song swaps. “We’d email each other and send each other songs back and forth, so it’s been really cool to get to know him a little bit,” said Moroney.
Their collaborative spirit went beyond a single stage. In October, the duo reunited for an unannounced Brooklyn pop-up show, only solidifying fan hopes that something more might be brewing.
The Inside Scoop: Are They Planning a Studio Duet?
Moroney is clear—both she and Sheeran want to work together in the studio. “I think when the time is right and the song is right, it’ll happen… but it’s just got to be the right song,” she explained, hinting that both artists are looking for something that reflects their signature styles and mutual respect [People].
This deliberate approach has only intensified anticipation.
