Megan Moroney graduated from clubs to arenas in about two years flat, and The Cloud 9 Tour is the victory lap — her Brooklyn headline night at Barclays Center behind the new album, with pop songwriter JP Saxe and Solon Holt opening. Her 'emo cowgirl' brand of country — Tennessee Orange, I'm Not Pretty, Am I Okay? — draws one of the most dressed-up, boots-and-rhinestones crowds in music. If you want to see country's next superstar while the rooms are still this fun, this is the night New York get

What to expect

An arena full of cowboy boots, fringe and friend groups belting every word, with Moroney's between-song storytelling giving the big room a writers'-round intimacy. JP Saxe's opening set skews heart-on-sleeve pop before the country main event.

Good to know

  • Barclays Center sits on top of Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr station — 2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R/W plus the LIRR all stop there
  • Dress code is unofficial but real: boots, denim and rhinestones dominate
  • Small bags only under Barclays' bag policy
  • The tour hits Prudential Center in Newark the following night if this show sells out
  • Floor seats put you in the singalong; lower bowl gets the best sightlines
  • Merch lines run longest right at doors and post-show — mid-show is the quiet window
