Moral of the story, ladies… always keep a jersey on-hand in case of an emergency. Last weekend, Ella Langley almost had a major wardrobe malfunction while opening for Morgan Wallen at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, and she shared later on her Instagram stories that her dress “came unzipped” on her second song, but she came up with a quick solution, throwing a Ravens jersey on over her outfit that they had gifted her when she got there. And it sounds like she’s not the only country starlet whose done that before. Megan Moroney sat down for a lengthy feature with Cosmopolitan Magazine this week, where she discussed her ascent to stardom, her Cloud 9 Tour, life on the road, and of course, her dating life, and Megan was asked about writing very personal songs like “Who Hurt You?”, and more. She also did some social content for them, revealing that she once had a similar situation to Ella happen to her while performing on stage during the Bourbon & Beyond festival in Kentucky, when her dress popped in the back just three songs in. Megan says she felt it happen, and all of a sudden, there was a breeze… and she had nothing on under it: “So I was playing a festival in Kentucky, and song number three, dress pops open in the back. I feel it. There’s a breeze. I’ve got nothing on under that dress.” Luckily, she remembered her agent was wearing an Am I Okay? jersey, so instead of running off stage to do her usual guitar change, she ran off stage and told her agent she needed a jersey, and it worked like a charm: “There was one part in the stage where I walked off sage to do a guitar change, while I’m playing, I’m thinking, okay, I know my agent had on a jersey. So I’m gonna run off stage, and instead of doing the guitar change, I’m gonna say, ‘Take your shirt off.’ So I put the jersey on over the dress for the remainder of the show, but that was alarming, because I thought I was gonna flash everyone.” Thankfully, I’ve never had something like this happen, but I guess I better start double checking my zippers because it sounds like there’s something in the water: @cosmopolitan Whew, that was a close one if it weren’t for @Megan Moroney’s agent. #MeganMoroney ♬ original sound – Cosmopolitan Cloud 9 Tour Dates: JULY 24 | Monticello, IA – Great Jones County Fair 25 | Minneapolis, MN – Target Center 26 | Lincoln, NE – Pinnacle Bank Arena 28 | Denver, CO – Ball Arena AUGUST 1 | Portland, OR – Moda Center 2 | Seattle, WA – Climate Pledge Arena 5 | Sacramento, CA – Golden 1 Center 7 | Los Angeles, CA – Crypto.com Arena 8 | Los Angeles, CA – Crypto.com Arena – NEW 11 | Glendale, AZ – Desert Diamond Arena 14 | Dallas, TX – American Airlines Center 15 | Tulsa, OK – BOK Center 16 | Kansas City, MO – T-Mobile Center 18 | Detroit, MI – Little Caesars Arena 21 | Nashville, TN – Bridgestone Arena 22 | Nashville, TN – Bridgestone Arena – NEW SEPTEMBER 13 | Oslo, NO – Sentrum Scene 15 | Stockholm, SE – Annexet 18 | Cologne, DE – Carlswerk Victoria 19 | Tilburg, NL – 013 Poppodium 21 | Paris, FR – Le Trianon 23 | London, UK – Eventim Apollo 26 | Manchester, UK – O2 Apollo 27 | Glasgow, UK – O2 Academy 28 | Glasgow, UK – O2 Academy – NEW OCTOBER 1 | Belfast, UK – SSE ArenaThe post “Nothing On Under That Dress” – Megan Moroney Recalls Her Own On-Stage Wardrobe Malfunction Following Ella Langley’s Recent Viral Moment first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

It’s a classic. Shania Twain released her new album Little Miss Twain today, and of course, she’s been doing tons of press in the lead-up to the big drop. And during a sit down with Allure, she revealed some really interesting new details about the filming process of her hit video “Any Man of Mine” and everything behind the scenes. Shania wrote the song with her now ex-husband Robert John “Mutt” Lange, who also produced it, and it was included as the second single from 1995 second studio album, The Woman in Me. It became her first number one hit at country radio, and also a minor crossover hit, peaking within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. And a song like that needed a music video to match, and she delivered. The filmed it in Santa Ynez, California, and it was directed by John Derek and Charley Randazzo. Of course, the looks from the video are iconic, as she shows off her famed midriff in a denim look, at some points chaps too (which were leant to her by model Bo Derek), and there’s also a cute brown dress that makes an appearance too. Shania revealed that she bought the dress at a department store, and she was “braless” in it because she was going through a phase after being “strapped in and strapped down” for so many years: “The brown spaghetti strap dress was bought a department store, and I went braless in that. I was just going through this whole braless stage, because I was so tired of being strapped in and strapped down. I was very sporty as a kid, and I was always one of these double bra girls so that I wouldn’t bounce around.” Bet you didn’t know that… She went on to say that it was really the horses that made the video so special for her, like living out a “fairytale,” and they even trained the horse the actually pass her a towel in the bathtub, which was completely real. In addition, Shania revealed that she had cut her own hair for the video, which she was doing herself at the time, and I have to say, that might be the most impressive thing about the whole video because her hair is legendary in and of itself: “‘Any Man of Mine,’ 1995, directed by John Derek and Charley Randazzo. This video really makes me chuckle. I love to ride horses, and I was in heaven just being around horses that whole day, riding out, playing cowgirl. This video is all my own wardrobe, the T-shirt I snipped it up the front and tied it again, to just a little looser, fun look with the belly button. And Bo Derek lent me her chops, that added a nice touch. My haircut at all times is always something that I need to have fun with and be playful with, I like it to move. at this time in my career, I was still my own hair cutter. I cut my own hair. Fun thing about this video that I indulged in was the horses, and given a towel in the bathtub by a horse through the window was so magical. His name was Slick, and she was a gelding paint, and the trainer did this horse to hand you items. And this horse genuinely did hand me the towel. He completely understood the cue, and on cue. I would say very fairytale experience for me. I was living a liberation that I’d never lived before, and coming into my own. This was a good video that was a turning point for me in that sense of really coming into my own.” Shania has always been a horse lover, and she now takes them on tour with her, and it’s hard to overstate just how big this song and video were for her career. She took off rom there, becoming the country icon we know and love today, and it all went to the next level with “Any Man of Mine”: @allure The “Any Man Of Mine” music video was not only a turning point for #ShaniaTwain, ♬ original sound – Allure It’s so iconic… the hair, the outfits, the song, it’s’ east to see how that became her first huge hit, and it was all so authentic and true to who she is, which is the best part about it: The post “I Was So Tired Of Being Strapped In” — Shania Twain Says She Was Going Through A “Braless Stage” While Filming Iconic “Any Man of Mine” Music Video first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Enjoying the single life… at least while she’s on tour. Megan Moroney sat down for a lengthy feature with Cosmopolitan Magazine, where she discussed her ascent to stardom, her Cloud 9 Tour, life on the road, and of course, her dating life, spilling about how she writes very personal songs, like “Who Hurt You?”. View this post on Instagram And she talked about how this is one of her first tours where she hasn’t been dating anyone, and it’s been completely distraction-free, and that has obviously made it a lot easier for her to completely enjoy it without having to worry about anyone else. She admitted that she’s had a lot of “big moments and fun times” ruined by guys she’s been with (her song “Hell of a Show” is about exactly that), and so it’s been a completely different experience this time around… and she’s also doing her first arena tour, playing much bigger venues as well: “It’s really nice that this is one of the first tours I’ve been on where I’m not dating anyone, so I literally have no distractions. And that sounds really silly, but there have been a lot of big moments and fun times that have been ruined by a guy for me. It’s nice to just have a clear head. I’m learning what I like and what I don’t like and what my goals are. It’s been cool to be so disciplined with my routines, to see what I’m capable of when everything is going like it’s supposed to.” But she admits that she loves having “a crush” and the excitement of getting into a new relationship, so she will probably be “on the prowl again” after her tour comes to an end in October. But for now, Megan explains that it’s been “so nice” to have her friends and family out with her and focusing on that, rather than being heartbroken by some guy: “There is something about having a crush that’s exciting, and when my tour wraps up in October, when I’m back from Europe, I’ll maybe be on the prowl again. Yeah, it’ll be fall. It’ll be cuffing season, but right now, it’s been so nice to have my friends and family out [with me] and that not be an aspect of my life that is any sort of problem for me. I wrote ‘Hell of a Show’ about being onstage and having my biggest headlining tour yet and it being ruined. I’m crying right before I go onstage. Life is peaceful. I got a dog in February. That’s what I needed all along—no man, a dog.” She’s having a huge moment in her career, something she’s been working towards for years that is a total dream come true, and she should be doing nothing but enjoying it. She definitely picked the most “peaceful strategy in terms of being single right now, but Megan was spotted partying with USMNT soccer star Christian Pulisic this week in Nashville, and while I’m sure they were probably just having fun as friends, she’ll likely have plenty of suiters when she’s ready to get back to dating again.
