Sara Evans hosted singer-songwriter Kylie Morgan on the latest episode of her podcast to dive into her journey so far in music and life.
Throughout the conversation, Morgan recalled the meanest comment she’s ever received, the conversation she had with her mom at 12 years old to skip college and pursue her career as an artist, getting emancipated at 14, the moment she saw husband and fellow artist Jay Allen for the first time, and more. The two artists also discussed Morgan’s “unexpected wedding, having a viral TikTok song, her close relationship with her mom, and a lesson on geography from Sara,” on the new episode of Diving in Deep with Sara Evans that arrived on Thursday (July 25).
Morgan watched as one of her songs went viral on TikTok ahead of her wedding in 2022. She knew “Bridesmaids” had the potential to reach millions of listeners (“Give any girl an excuse to post wedding photos. She will do it. It's going to be huge. You just gotta trust me”). Morgan told iHeartRadio, “for everyone to use my song to tell their story, it has just been so magical. Because I feel like it's a direct way to, for me to get to know the fans better.”
Morgan married Allen in Florida in November 2022, following a delay because of hurricane damage earlier in the year. She told PEOPLE at that time that “it was important to us that our wedding felt unique and non-traditional and accurately represented who we are, not only as individuals, but also what we embody as a couple.” Allen wrote a heartfelt anniversary tribute to his wife after one year of marriage, writing, in part: “Kylie Morgan Allen, you are my real-life dream girl. Thank you for loving me and letting me love you.”
