## Early life

Moroney was born October 9, 1997, in Savannah, Georgia. She has a brother, Connor, now an attorney. Moroney was raised in a musical household in Douglasville, Georgia. She began listening to country music in her childhood and learned to play piano. Moroney went to Robert S. Alexander High School and participated in cheerleading and musical theater. She attended the University of Georgia in Athens as an accounting major and was in the Kappa Delta sorority.

## Career

While in college, Moroney opened a concert for Jon Langston singing and interned for Kristian Bush of Sugarland. After graduating, she moved to Nashville, in 2020 to begin a music career. She kept in contact with Bush, which led to him introducing her to other songwriters. She released her first single "Wonder" in 2021 leading to her release of an extended play titled Pistol Made of Roses. Her next single release was "Tennessee Orange" in 2022, a track on which Bush served as producer.
After the song became popular through online streaming, Moroney signed with Arista Nashville. In late 2022, "Tennessee Orange" debuted at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Moroney her first chart entry. At the time, the song also charted on Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay.
Arista Nashville closed while the song was climbing the charts, and as a result, Moroney was transferred to Columbia Records Nashville. On May 5, 2023, Moroney released her debut album Lucky. The album featured the singles "Tennessee Orange" and "I'm Not Pretty". The album reached the top 40 of the Billboard 200. The album was named as the Best Country and American album of 2023 by Rolling Stone with writer Jonathan Bernstein saying that Moroney created a 'casual, youth-conversant tone [which] makes it shine and comes naturally'. A deluxe version of the album was released on September 22. 2023. She released a cover version of Chris Stapleton's 2013 single "What Are You Listening To?" as an Amazon Music exclusive on October 6, 2023. The song was released on other streaming platforms in January 2024.
Since then, she has released a song with Old Dominion titled "Can't Break Up Now", a single "No Caller ID", and the deluxe version of her debut album Lucky. On May 2, 2024, Moroney announced her second album Am I Okay? It was released on July 12, 2024. On November 1, 2024, Moroney released her first Christmas album, an EP entitled Blue Christmas...Duh.
Moroney writes/co-writes all of her own music.

## Personal life

After the release of "Tennessee Orange", Moroney received attention on social media for wearing a Tennessee Volunteers shirt belonging to American country singer Morgan Wallen; it led to rumors that she was dating him. Though Moroney was initially neutral when asked if the two were in a relationship, in 2024, she explained that they had been in a relationship, though she admitted that "It was never a relationship." Though they are no longer together, they are still friends. In early 2024, she was in a relationship with an undisclosed man, but she is currently single. She has lived in Nashville since 2020.
Moroney is a Georgia Bulldogs football fan.
