Megan Moroney revealed the Cloud 9 track list on Friday morning (January 9), and fans are “screaming” over the two superstar collaborations.

Moroney, 28, announced the new album details in a clip set to an unreleased track. In the video, the powerhouse singer-songwriter steps out of a private plane (which reads C9MM3, a nod to Cloud 9, her third studio album) wearing an all-pink look, embracing this era’s signature color. As she walks toward a pink vehicle waiting for her, Moroney glances toward the sky and smiles at the track list written in the clouds:

Commenters said they're “screaming” over the two duets on the record.

Moroney has previously expressed interest in collaborating with Sheeran. She told PEOPLE in an interview for the publication’s StyleWatch issue in November that she and Sheeran would “email and send each other songs back and forth, so it's been really cool to get to know him a little bit.” The two artists performed together in March 2025 at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, and again at a surprise performance in Brooklyn, New York. Moroney told PEOPLE of the possibility of a collaboration: “I think when the time is right and the song is right, it'll happen.”

The Georgia-born country star is also marking a full circle moment by teaming up with Musgraves. Moroney cited Musgraves’ 2013 debut studio album, Same Trailer Different Park, as inspiration to start writing her own music. The “Beautiful Things” artist reflected on Musgraves’ influence when the two artists were featured in the “Unbroken Circle” section of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s annual exhibit, American Currents: State of the Music. That section focuses on connections between artists and those who have significantly influenced them or shared musical perspectives.

Moroney announced Cloud 9 in November, and quickly followed the album announcement with a tour date reveal. She’s since added more performance dates “due to overwhelming demand” at “top-tier arenas across the U.S.” See the full list of tour stops below.

“I am so excited for my fans and I to dive into this new world of Cloud 9 together,” Moroney said when she announced her highly-anticipated album. “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.”
