Meghan Patrick Calls Final Show Of The Year ‘Bittersweet’ As She Steps Away From Touring To Prepare For Arrival Of First Child

Meghan Patrick is feeling bittersweet emotions as she reflects on performing her final show of the year.

On May 11, the songstress shared an honest statement with fans letting them know that she would not be finishing out her Golden Child Tour as previously planned in order to focus on her family and herself throughout her pregnancy. She wrapped up her May shows and is now taking a moment to finally feel settled at home as she awaits the arrival of her first child with her husband, Mitchell Tenpenny.

When she first announced the news that she would be stepping away from the stage for the remainder of the year, Patrick admitted the decision came with a “heavy heart.”

“I’ll be stepping away fromtouring for the rest of the year to focus on my family, my health, and this baby girl we prayed so hard for. I’ll still be making music, and honestly, I feel like I’m writing some of the best songs of my life right now. So I will not be disappearing or “quitting”, just doing things a little differently in the best way for not only the quality of my music, but also for my family,” she explained at the time.

The country singer later noted that she felt “very at peace” with the choice she made to prioritize herself and her baby girl. She also expressed gratitude for the tremendous amount of support she received in regards to her decision.

“I am glad to know that one day when my baby girl is old enough, she will know that not only did her mama put her first, but that I had an entire village behind me who encouraged me to do so and wanted the best for her before she was even born. So many of you have brought Mitchell and I such beautiful and thoughtful baby gifts over the last few months and we are so grateful for your kindness. Baby girl is gonna be the best dressed and have several outfit changes a day for a while thanks to y’all. Thank you, I love you…”
