I am here to tell you that Dan + Shay are not only known for their powerhouse vocals on memorable ballads, but their senses of humor as well.
I recently spoke to the duo on Taste of Country Nights and proposed a scenario in which they were going to add a third member to the group, and I asked them who they would choose.
Shay Mooney said, “I’d say get a female. Maybe get like Megan Moroney. We would have to just go with Megan. I dunno about Dan, Shay and Megan Moroney.”
Dan Smyers keyed in with, “Meg, maybe. We gotta put her first though,” insinuating that the new band name would be Meg + Dan + Shay.
Smyers then suggested the new group would be named “MegShaDan,” a delightful combination of the three names, although he admitted that the name “sounds like a dinosaur or something.”
Mooney joked, “MegShaDan sounds like a new movie that Jason Statham would be in or something.”
How Many Songs Have Dan + Shay Collaborated With Another Artist On?
Dan + Shay have collaborated with four different artists on music before.
- “10,000 Hours” (with Justin Bieber)
- “Keeping Score” (with Kelly Clarkson)
- “Those Days” (with Lindsey Stirling)
- “That’s Not How This Works” (with Charlie Puth)
With the success of their collaboration with Bieber, I would have to imagine a collaboration with Moroney, an in-format artist, would do just as well, if not better, due to her popularity at the moment.
