Sometimes, reality TV royalty beats pop stardom! Here are five things to know about 24-year-old Megan McKenna, otherwise known as the singer who took Taylor Swift ‘s number one spot on the U. K. iTunes chart as of Sept. 6. (She also looks exactly like Megan Fox in certain lights.)
1. She’s familiar with the televised singing competition circuit. Megan, who is from Essex, England, got her musical start by doing open mics. She then made the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, and auditioned for multiple seasons of The X Factor UK.

She joined the main cast of The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) that same year. Megan is currently starring on her own show called There’s Something About Megan, though it was an instant flop according to recent reports.
3. She’s also a restauranteur. Megan opened MCK Grill in Woodford Green, Essex in May 2017. It actually has a pretty good TripAdvisor rating (ranked #13 of 60 in the area) , in case you’ re wondering.
4. Now Megan is headed to country stardom. She dropped “High Heeled Shoes” and “Far Cry From Love” on Sept. 6…and instantly shot to the top of the United Kingdom iTunes chart.
