Stars on Broadway - Morgan Wallen

Chapter 65 - Goin' Down Under

Georgie was lounging on the porch swing, enjoying the cool breeze that swept across the fields surrounding the farmhouse. It was one of those rare quiet days, where everything felt calm, almost too calm. She was just about to doze off when her phone buzzed on the table beside her. It was Anna, her manager.

Smiling, Georgie picked up the phone, half-expecting a casual check-in or update on her next project. But the moment she heard Anna's voice, she knew something big was coming.

"Georgie, I've got some news," Anna said, her voice filled with excitement.

Georgie's heart skipped a beat. "What's going on?"

Anna's voice dropped slightly, as if she was savoring the moment before delivering the punchline. "You've been invited to headline CMC Rocks."

Georgie sat up so fast she nearly fell off the swing. "Wait, what? Like, the CMC Rocks in Australia?!"

"That's the one!" Anna confirmed with a laugh. "They want you as their headliner this year. It's a massive opportunity, Georgie—your first international headline festival."

Georgie's heart pounded with excitement. CMC Rocks was the biggest country music festival in Australia, and she had dreamed of performing there for years. The fact that they wanted her to headline... it was almost too much to process.

"Oh my God, Anna, this is huge!" Georgie practically squealed. "When do they want me to go?"

"The festival's in six months, so you've got time to prepare, but they'll announce the lineup soon, so you need to be ready to drop the news."

Georgie grinned, already thinking about how she was going to tell her fans. "I've got the perfect way to announce it. And I can't wait!"

A few hours later, Georgie stood in front of her phone, recording a TikTok video in her usual playful style. She was grinning ear to ear, excited to share the news with her fans.

"Hey y'all, I've got some big news," she started, her voice teasing as she smirked at the camera. "I'm going down under... No, not on Morgan," she winked, pausing just long enough to let the joke land before bursting into laughter. "I'm headed to Australia! That's right, I'm headlining CMC Rocks, and I cannot wait to see all my Aussie fans down there!"

She continued, giving details about the festival and how excited she was to be performing her first international show. But the cheeky "going down under" joke was already trending before she could even finish the video. The fans were eating it up.

@AussieCountryFan: "Georgie's coming to Australia!!! I KNEW SHE'D BE A HEADLINER ONE DAY! #CMCRocks"

@MorganAndGeorgieFan: "The 'going down under' line had me crying! 😂 I LOVE THEM!! #DownUnder #GeorgieDay"

@CountryLover_92: "I'm getting my tickets ASAP! CMC Rocks is gonna be HUGE with Georgie headlining!!!"

Georgie couldn't stop laughing as she scrolled through the comments later that night. The fans were buzzing with excitement, and she was just as thrilled to finally be performing in Australia.

As the sun set, she turned to Morgan, who had just walked out onto the porch with a couple of beers. "So... what do you think about taking a little trip to Australia with me?"

Morgan raised an eyebrow, handing her one of the beers. "Australia, huh? What's going on down there?"

"Well," Georgie said, leaning back in her chair, "I've been invited to headline CMC Rocks."

Morgan's eyes widened, his expression turning to one of pure excitement. "Wait, what? That's huge, Georgie! Congrats!"

Georgie beamed, taking a sip of her beer. "Thanks. But I don't really want to go alone. I was thinking... maybe you could come with me?"
