Shaboozey Defends Megan Moroney From ‘Hateful Comments’ After Viral Side-Eye Moment at the AMAs

Shaboozey defended Megan Moroney after the AMAs, where he appeared to give her a side-eye after she said the Carter family "invented" country music.

Shaboozey is coming to Megan Moroney ‘s defense after a remark she made during the duo’s American Music Awards presentation landed her in hot water with some viewers Monday (May 26). In that moment, the “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer seemingly gave Moroney a side-eye, with some viewers interpreting his expression as a silent disagreement or protest. Since the show, many people online have pointed out that Black musicians pioneered the genre and, despite being all-too-frequently excluded from history, influenced several of country’s earliest superstars — though some of that discussion has manifested in vitriolic comments on the “Am I Okay?” artist’s profile.
