Megan Moroney Cosplays as Andie Anderson in 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' on 2025 ACM Awards Red Carpet (Exclusive)
Megan Moroney walked the 2025 ACM Awards red carpet in slinky yellow dress
The country music singer told PEOPLE that the gown was inspired by Kate Hudson's iconic yellow look in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Despite the movie's 2003 release, Moroney revealed that she watched the film for the first time recentlyMegan Moroney is channeling an early aughts style moment at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
The country music artist, 27, arrived at the 2025 ACM Awards in Frisco, Texas, on May 8 and walked the red carpet in a nod to one of the 2000s most beloved romcoms.
Moroney attended the event in a slinky yellow satin one-shoulder gown by Cult Gaia that draped elegantly along her frame, plus a dazzling yellow diamond necklace. She wore her blonde hair parted down the middle in soft, beachy waves.
The "Tennessee Orange" singer exclusively told PEOPLE on the ACM Awards red carpet that the gown was inspired by Kate Hudson as Andie Anderson in the 2003 movie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
"The vibe is obviously Kate Hudson [and] Andie Anderson. I just watched the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days a couple of months ago for the first time," Moroney said.
The country artist continued, "I'm not a big movie watcher, but I didn't know I was missing out on such a great movie. I've been kind of obsessed with it, and I just wanted to wear yellow and I thought it'd be cute."
Moroney is nominated for two awards, including album of the year and female artist of the year. She is also set to perform during the ceremony, and revealed during her PEOPLE interview that she's set to perform "Stupid Boy" in a tribute to Keith Urban.

The sparkles even extended to Moroney's microphone during her performance on the Dec. 12 show.

"I wanted to be dressed as a human red flag—like the guy in the song I'm performing," Moroney told Cosmopolitan ahead of the 2024 ceremony's taping. During the show, she performed 'Man on the Moon' from her 2024 album Am I Okay?
"I've always loved dressing up and putting outfits together," she told the outlet. "Since college, I've enjoyed styling myself and helping my friends pick out outfits. During my first few years as an artist in Nashville, I was completely self-styled."

A month prior, the 'No Caller ID' singer served another iconic look, this time at the 2024 CMA Awards. On Nov. 20, Moroney arrived at the ceremony in Nashville wearing a custom ultramarine Cristian Siriano strapless mermaid gown. The look was completed with a full organza skirt. On Hulu's red carpet livestream, she called the look 'very blue and very sparkly.'
She styled the look with Giuseppe Zanotti heels, statement rings and a bedazzled custom Edie Parket clutch. Her blonde hair was kept in voluminous and fluffed-out waves. A royal blue manicure completed the look. The color scheme was seemingly a nod to her latest album, which was released last July.

At the 2023 CMA Awards, Moroney stunned in a custom Stefanie Naylor off-the-shoulder red gown with a wide skirt that trailed behind her. She completed the look with blingy necklaces, red heels with bows and crimson lipstick.
"With the drama of the red dress, I wanted to go full classic Hollywood glam with my hair in smooth waves, fresh glowy skin and a bold lip," the 'Tennessee Orange' singer told PEOPLE.
Last year, on Moroney's Am I Okay? Tour, her stage looks mostly consisted of short dresses with flouncy skirts and cowboy boots.
The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by Reba McEntire, are streaming live on Prime Video from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

Nintendo Switch 2 release in San Francisco draws crowd to Union Square store
The Nintendo Switch 2 release at the San Francisco flagship store had fans lining up and traveling from far away on Wednesday. The flagship San Francisco store hosted a pre-celebration event for fans. One fan said they even traveled from New Jersey for the opportunity. "I'm a big Nintendo fan," a fan dressed as Luigi said. Fans got there early and were able to try the Mario Kart demo on the Switch 2, which officially goes on sale at 9 p.m. Wednesday, June 4. KPIX asked Denier about the hype surrounding the latest console. "It's a powerful 10x upgrade from the original that came out in 2017. I'm looking forward to playing 4K, 60 frames per second," Denier said. "That's a little bit nerdy, but that's something people like me really look for." Coincidentally, he means players like Trevor Strohl, who's a professional saxophone player. And when he gets on the sax, his interests collide. "We play all sorts of video game music, including a lot of Nintendo music," Strohl said. The Switch 2 is pricier than the first generation, at roughly $500 per unit. But from the looks of the line, it's well on its way to making another big splash for Nintendo and its users. "I'm going to buy it with Mario Kart, and I'm going to buy it with some controllers and accessories and stuff, maybe some of the accessories they got," Denier said. In the end, fans are there to have a common experience and share the love for a beloved gaming system. "We're just devoted fans," Denier said. "We love Nintendo."

UFC 316: 10 Things You Need To Know About Saturday's PPV
It feels like it's been at least two months since the last UFC PPV. In reality, it's been less than a month. UFC 315 was on May 10. Perhaps it seems as though it's been such a long time because the cards between then and now have been pretty lackluster. That's going to change on Saturday as the UFC's epic summer schedule gets underway. Here's the 10 things you should know about UFC 316. UFC 316 is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, 2025. The event takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. A bantamweight title rematch between reigning champion Merab Dvalishvili and former titleholder Sean O'Malley. Dvalishvili dethroned O'Malley in September 2024 at Noche UFC to win the title. Since winning the title, Dvalishvili has successfully defended it once in January against Umar Nurmagomedov. Julianna Peña defends her women's bantamweight title against Olympic gold medalist and former Professional Fighters League featherweight champion, Kayla Harrison. This fight marks Peña's first title defense during her second championship reign. Harrison has a chance to become the first woman to hold a PFL and UFC world title. The female G.O.A.T is poised to make a return to the Octagon. She will likely be in New Jersey to face off with the winner following the co-main event. Look for the winner to face Nunes for the bantamweight title later this year. The former Bellator bantamweight champ Patchy Mix debuts in the UFC with a 20-1 record and 13 submission wins. Mix is one of the best bantamweights in the world and he makes his promotional debut against a tough contender in Mario Bautista. Quite honestly, as good as Bautista is, if Mix doesn't win, there will be serious doubt as to whether he'll be a title contender in the UFC. So far, none of the champions who have come over from Bellator have proven to be on that same level in the UFC. Will Mix be the first? While neither Khaos Williams nor Andreas Gustafsson figure to be championship contenders, both men have proven they are about that fight life. From a pure fighting style standpoint, you couldn't ask for a better matchup if you want to see two fighters get after it. There's some other compelling matchups along this line (Luque-Holland, Gastelum-Pyfer, Pena-Harrison), but Williams-Gustafsson could easily be the best fight of the night.
