I got all the products in person recently, and it was so surreal to see the pieces, but also to see American Girl and Megan Moroney on the box. I was involved in every step and detail because I wanted it to look as realistic as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMoroney\u2019s own affinity for American Girl stretches back to her childhood favorite AG doll, Emily Bennett, which was released in 2006.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cEmily was a Christmas present and I had a lot of dolls growing up, but my American Girl doll was the prized possession,\u201d she says. \u201cIf I was going to go outside and play with a doll by the pool or somewhere like that, Emily didn\u2019t come because I wanted her to stay looking nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMoroney said part of the appeal of being a part of the storied legacy of the American Girl brand is its emphasis on empowering young people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWhen I think about my fan base, there\u2019s people of all ages, but I always try to be a good influence on the younger fans,\u201d Moroney said. \u201cI feel like by having this collaboration with American Girl, it can inspire fans to dream big and be creative. It\u2019s kind of cool that this is my first product that I\u2019m offering this kind of age group. My thing is just to always have a positive impact on these young girls because I imagine being a young girl nowadays is even harder than it was when I was young, because of social media and stuff. So just kind of giving these girls an outlet and encouraging them to be creative and inspired and confident.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image   lrv-u-margin-t-125 u-padding-b-10 u-margin-t-26@mobile-max lrv-u-display-inline-block lrv-u-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/megan-moroney-american-girl-cr-mattel-billboard-1800.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"American Girl x Megan Moroney\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column a-font-accent-xs lrv-u-color-black u-margin-t-n4px lrv-u-padding-lr-00@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-b-1 u-font-size-11 u-line-height-19px u-word-spacing-n0156px u-letter-spacing-0026 u-padding-b-0625@mobile-max\"><span class>American Girl x Megan Moroney<\/span><cite class=\"u-letter-spacing-0094 lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-font-size-10 u-margin-t-2px\">Mattel<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tShe\u2019s quick to point out that being confident doesn\u2019t have to equal flawlessness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cBeing confident to me doesn\u2019t necessarily mean everything\u2019s perfect, but it\u2019s owning who you are, loving who you are and not worrying about what other people say,\u201d she adds. \u201cBecause when I think of the obstacles that I\u2019ve almost had in my career, it was because I almost maybe let someone say that I wasn\u2019t good enough to be doing it. I think just owning who you are, being confident and dreaming really big [is important], because I almost was going to be an accountant. My American Girl doll almost had a little calculator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFor Moroney, whose Cloud 9 setlist is filled with fan favorites such as \u201cBeautiful Things,\u201d \u201cNo Caller ID\u201d and \u201cLiars and Tigers and Bears,\u201d the tour has meant more than simply performing songs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s really surreal, especially being at the arena level,\u201d Moroney says. \u201cI can name my favorite artists I went to see at some of these arenas and I still can\u2019t believe everyone is there for me. It\u2019s just a very \u2018pinch me\u2019 moment. I\u2019ve been trying to really be in the moment and trying to take it in each night, because this is such a dream come true, a dream I\u2019ve had since I started writing songs. It\u2019s really special to see and get feedback from my fans that they feel like it\u2019s not just a concert \u2013 it feels like an experience they went to that impacted their life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThough she says her focus on touring has meant she hasn\u2019t been writing many songs recently, Moroney notes that she has plenty of song ideas squirreled away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve got probably more than a hundred ideas in my phone,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve got some songs that I had written before the tour that didn\u2019t make <em>Cloud 9<\/em> that are floating around in my brain. But the main focus is the tour, and then as soon as the tour\u2019s over, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll do something crazy.
