Megan Moroney brought her “6 Months Later” music video to life on the CMA Awards stage on Wednesday night.
Amid a pink bedroom-inspired set, Moroney opened the performance in a pink robe before removing it to reveal a sparkling pink mini dress as she danced around the stage.
Leading up to the CMA Awards, Megan Moroney teased that her performance would give a nod to the fun and colorful music video for her hit song, which debuted over the summer.
“You can expect a slumber party vibe. We’re kind of doing a nod to the music video,” she shared, later adding that fans could expect “a whole lot of pink,” a playful nod to her forthcoming album, Cloud 9.
