00:00Megan Maroney, hello!

00:02Are you guys ready?

00:03Here she is, you're looking beautiful as always.

00:08I gotta say, I heard you sound checking earlier.

00:10You sound incredible.

00:12Tell us a bit about your performance tonight.

00:14So we're doing my album title track, Am I Okay?

00:17Yes.

00:18Per usual, there's gonna be a lot of sparkles

00:20and it's just such a fun song to sing, so I'm excited.

00:23I love that.

00:24So who's a woman that's inspiring you in music right now?

00:28Inspiring my music right now?

00:30I mean, there's so many.

00:32I feel like at all times, Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert,

00:36they always, I love listening to all their new releases

00:39and they just always bring it, so.

00:42And you're winning Rule Breaker tonight.

00:44You come from a long line of amazing Rule Breakers,

00:47including your friend Lainey Wilson.

00:49Why is it important for you to go against the grain in that way?

00:53Well, I think all artists that are successful nowadays,

00:57they're not following rules.

00:58There's no guidebook,

01:00because you can't base another artist's success

01:02off of how you should do it.

01:04So I think it's really just about trusting your gut

01:06and embracing individuality in your songwriting

01:09and just like what makes you you

01:11and just really leaning into that, so.

01:13Right, and authenticity as well.

01:14Yes.

01:15Very important, guys.

01:16Of course.

01:17I mean, do you have any advice for keeping authentic?

01:19Because some people, you know, they struggle with that.

01:21Right.

01:22I think it's just like for me, when I get into the writer's room,

01:25even if it's uncomfortable to be that honest,

01:28I just think that I know the look on my fans' faces

01:32when I'm singing a song like Girl in the Mirror

01:34where I had to be painfully authentic.

01:36Yep.

01:37And I just know that the more honest you are,

01:40the more people are going to relate

01:41because we're all kind of going through the same stuff, so.

01:43I think that's such a good lesson.

01:45Yes, it is.

01:46I feel like a lot of people can learn from that.

01:48Yes.

01:49For the most part, yeah.

01:50And thank you so much, Megan.

01:51Congratulations on your award.

01:52We're so happy for you.

01:53We've been rooting for you for years and years and years.

01:56I appreciate it.

01:57I'm so happy you're here.
