Country Star Megan Moroney Jokes About Her ‘Bad Taste in Men’

When Megan Moroney was in fifth grade, she broke up with her “sweet boyfriend” to date the bad boy eighth grader. Now 27 years old, Moroney says not much has changed.

The country star opened up to Rolling Stone about her love life — or lack thereof — in a story published Wednesday, March 12, where she derided her own taste in men.

“I feel like I’ve always had bad taste in men,” she said. “I don’t know if this song will make my next album, but an opening line is, ‘I know how to pick them. Copy, paste.’”

It’s not just the eight grade bad boy. Moroney previously took to TikTok to reveal a statement an ex once made that caused her to want to send him “to the moon.”

I tried dating for a second and then I quickly realized that now is not the time. I think in the album you get that vibe. The love songs were very short-lived!”
