Megan Moroney has fans floating on Cloud 9 this morning with the announcement of her highly anticipated third studio album.

Early Tuesday, she revealed that her next project, Cloud 9, will arrive on February 20, 2026.

“I am so excited for my fans and I to dive into this new world of Cloud 9 together,” she shared. “Similar to the first two albums, it’s all written about honest, personal experiences, but these songs were written by the strongest, most confident version of myself I’ve ever been. My feet feel firmly planted in my artistry and it was fun to play around sonically, while still sticking to my roots of what my fans and I love. Cloud 9 is a state of mind, and I have no doubt this will be the best chapter yet.”

While the official track list is still under wraps, two songs are confirmed: her rising Top 10 hit “6 Months Later,” and “Beautiful Things,” which recently arrived at country radio with 69 first-week adds, making it one of the most-added songs on impact.

The album news comes just after Moroney officially closed her Am I Okay? era on social media, saying goodbye to the color blue. In a reveal video, she opens a window in a blue room, and the world outside transforms into pink, marking the start of her next era.

Fans can now pre-order Cloud 9 in Megan’s Signature Pink – Standard now.

Cloud 9 follows the success of her Am I Okay? Tour, which featured the biggest venues of her career and included sold-out shows around the country. She recently wrapped a run in Australia as well, including a SOLD-OUT night at Brisbane’s Riverstage and performances at the Ridin’ Hearts Festival stops in Sydney and Melbourne.

Moroney closed the chapter with her first live album, Am I Okay? Tour (Live), a massive 24-song release capturing the energy of her breakout run.

Now, as she steps into her new musical era, she heads into CMA Awards week as a six-time nominee: Single of the Year (“Am I Okay?”), Song of the Year (“Am I Okay?”), Album of the Year (Am I Okay?), Female Vocalist of the Year, Musical Event of the Year (“You Had to Be There” with Kenny Chesney), and Music Video of the Year (“Am I Okay?”).

Moroney is also set to hit the stage during the broadcast. The 59th Annual CMA Awards air live on ABC on Wednesday, November 19, from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, with next-day streaming on Hulu.
