Dan + Shay Joke About Adding Megan Moroney — and It Feels Like Country Music Having Fun Again

After years of emotional love songs and sold-out shows, Dan + Shay recently reminded fans that they don’t take themselves too seriously — and that’s part of why people love them.

In a playful interview, the duo was asked a simple question: What if Dan + Shay became a trio? Without hesitation, both laughed and threw out the same name — Megan Moroney. The idea sparked instant banter, jokes, and a flurry of possible new band names that felt more like friends chatting than superstars planning a rebrand.

Shay joked that adding a female voice could bring a fresh dynamic, while Dan leaned into the humor, tossing out silly mash-ups of their names that even they admitted sounded ridiculous. The conversation never felt forced — just two seasoned artists enjoying the creative freedom that comes from being comfortable with who they are.

For longtime country fans, moments like this are refreshing. Dan + Shay have already proven they know how to collaborate, blending seamlessly with voices across genres. Their admiration for Megan Moroney reflects something deeper: a respect for the next generation and a willingness to keep country music evolving without losing its heart.

Megan, known for her honest storytelling and emotional delivery, represents where modern country is headed — thoughtful, vulnerable, and rooted in real feeling. Whether or not a trio ever happens, the conversation itself struck a chord.

It was a reminder that at its best, country music isn’t just about charts or labels — it’s about connection, laughter, and shared love for the craft.
