Tanner Adell Presents Megan Moroney With Rule Breaker Award Presented By Crown Royal At Billboard Women In Music 2025

Tanner Adell was proud to attend this year’s Billboard Women in Music at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California on Saturday, March 29. She walked the blue carpet in a gorgeous, corseted look with long blonde hair and a matching purse covered in blonde locks. Her gold jewelry and bedazzled nails shown in the sunlight as she posed for photographers.

Tanner stopped to talk to Billboard’s Rania Aniftos on the carpet about tour life, working on new music, and how she would give this year’s Woman of The Year, Doechii a crown for being a queen in her own right. She also talked about presenting Megan Moroney with this year’s Rule Breaker Award presented by Crown Royal. Tanner spoke about the importance of going against the grain, saying “I think it’s important for artists to do what they want in general. Being kept to a box is not good for your creativity.”

After stunning on the carpet, Tanner headed inside to the exclusive VIP cocktail reception where she stopped by the Crown Royal bar to give a toast. “We have so many amazing and talented women in the building and I’m so proud to be one of them,” Tanner began while holding her signature cocktail, the Crown Blackberry Buckle Bunny. She thanked Billboard and Crown Royal for always supporting her and her music, finishing with “Tonight we raise a glass to celebrate all the women in music. Cheers!”

As the official Whisky partner for Billboard Women in Music, honorees were treated to a range of custom craft cocktails featuring Crown Royal. Tanner’s Crown Blackberry Buckle Bunny is a refreshing mix of Crown Royal Blackberry and lemonade. They also served the classic Royal Whisky Sour which uses Crown Royal Deluxe. Many chose a Royal 18, which is Crown Royal 18Y on the rocks. The most versatile cocktail of the evening was In The Name of Whisky, featuring either Crown Royal Deluxe, Blackberry, Peach, or Apple with fresh lemon juice, cane sugar and club soda.

As the program began inside the YouTube Theater, Tanner took the stage to present the first award of the evening. She helped present Megan Moroney with the Rule Breaker Award presented by Crown Royal. After letting the audience know that Megan originally thought she was going to be an accountant like her mother, Tanner listed off some of the most impressive accomplishments she has made in the first few years of her career including the charts success of her latest album Am I Okay? Tanner ended her speech with “Megan Moroney, I think it’s safe to say you are more than okay, girl.”

It was Megan’s turn on stage to start the evenings performances off with a high energy rendition of “Am I Okay?” She entertained the audience and fellow honorees singing and shaking in silver fringe. She then accepted her award from Tanner Adell saying, “When I found out I was getting the Rule Breaker Award I thought it was kind of funny because, if you know me in real life, you know I’m an avid rule follower… But I’m just so grateful for it. I’m grateful to be here, in a room with such talented, confident, amazing women in music.”
