A $75 Ring in a Parking Lot: KT Smith And Morgan’s Story of Love and Heartbreak

Rob Sheffield

A JCPenney parking lot is not where most people picture a fairytale proposal. But for KT Smith, it was perfect. Before he was a country music superstar, Morgan Wallen asked her to marry him right there. The cost of the ring was seventy-five dollars. It happened in just five minutes before KT had to run into work.  

On a podcast, KT said she was absolutely “thrilled.” She explained that she was so in love that it did not matter. “I thought he hung the moon and the stars,” she shared. The small ring did not change her feelings at all. It was a simple “Are we gonna do this or what?” and she said yes, feeling pure joy.

Her story really got people talking. Many fans loved her honesty. They said it was refreshing to see someone value love more than money. One person shared that a big diamond does not equal a good man. But other listeners were not as kind. They picked apart her past and shared negative opinions online.

That “ring pop” kind of love is what everyone wants, but their story did not end there. The couple never got married. In a separate report, KT opened up again, but this time about a new chapter. She explained the sudden and difficult end of her recent marriage to Luke Scornovacco.

This second story showed a different, sadder struggle. KT explained that her new marriage ended after only nine months. She said she was paying most of the bills and doing the “manly things”. But the bigger issue was an old fear. She admitted her past trauma from her relationship with Morgan made her scared that her new husband would want attention from other women online.
