"Just want to clear something up: my reaction at the AMAs had nothing to do with Megan Moroney!" Shaboozey, 30, wrote. "She's an incredibly talented, hard-working artist who's doing amazing things for country music, and I've got nothing but respect for her." He continued: "I've seen some hateful comments directed at her today, and that's not what this moment was about.

The social media love comes after Shaboozey's viral side-eye moment during the 2025 AMAs when he and Moroney presented the Favorite Country Duo or Group award at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Reading the teleprompter, Shaboozey acknowledged the late Charley Pride, who won the Favorite Male Country Artist award in the AMA's first ceremony, and was a trailblazer for Black country musicians. Moroney's line was: "That same year, Favorite Female Artist went to Lynn Anderson. And this award went to the Carter family, who basically invented country music." This prompted a skeptical reaction from Shaboozey, who glanced at Moroney and briefly laughed before continuing. The next morning, he addressed the viral moment on X while also referring to Black artists' influence on country music. "When you uncover the true history of country music, you find a story so powerful that it cannot be erased…" Shaboozey wrote. "The real history of country music is about people coming together despite their differences, and embracing and celebrating the things that make us alike." . Though the Carter family (made up of A. P. Carter, Sara Dougherty Carter and Maybelle Addington Carter) may be considered the first family of country music, they were influenced by Lesley Riddle. The Black guitarist helped A.P. Carter "gather song material" almost a century ago, and through the years, Black musicians continued to shape and influence the country music genre that fans know today.

Shaboozey Is Going Viral For His Facial Reaction To Megan Moroney At The AMAs, And Now He's Speaking Out
Fans cannot stop talking about Shaboozey's very expressive reaction to Megan Moroney at the American Music Awards on Monday. The country singers took the stage together to present the award for favorite country duo or group, an accolade that ultimately went to Dan + Shay. But it's what happened before the winners were announced that has people talking. Shaboozey kicked it off by reading his portion on the teleprompter: 'Country music has been an important part of AMA history. The very first year of this show, the award for favorite male country artist went to the great Charlie Pride." Megan followed up with: 'That same year, favorite female artist went to Lynn Anderson, and this award [favorite country duo or group] went to the Carter family, who basically invented country music.' It was that last statement that seemed to catch Shaboozey completely off guard. I don't know if Megan improvised that line or what, but the "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" singer immediately side-eyed her after she said it. He then appeared to take a second to digest what she said before he let out a laugh, and proceeded to present the category. The Carter Family she was referring to was not Beyoncé and Jay-Z (Hey, Cowboy Carter), but actually an American folk music group from the late 1920s, who were given the title of 'the first family of country music,' according to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The group was made up of Sara Carter, her husband A.P. Carter, and her first cousin/sister-in-law Maybelle Carter. The family band spawned other family ensembles, including The Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle. Maybelle is also the mother of five-time Grammy Award winner, singer/songwriter June Carter Cash, who also happens to be the second wife of Johnny Cash. Outside of hit songs like "Wildwood Flower," "Worried Man Blues," and "Keep on the Sunny Side," the group is also recognized for coining a unique guitar technique referred to as the "Carter Scratch" or "Carter Family Picking," thanks to Maybelle. So why the face from Shaboozey? Well, when it comes to the creation of popular music genres, the influence Black people have had on shaping them is often ignored, and ultimately goes unnoticed or forgotten. This particularly happens in genres that are heavily populated by white musicians, like rock & roll and country.

It was created by enslaved Africans using an enlarged gourd, stretched animal skin, and other materials. And as you may know, the banjo is very prominent in genres like country, folk, bluegrass, and jazz. Well, earlier today, Shaboozey took to X (better known as Twitter) to refresh the memories of those who might not be familiar with the names of some of the founding members and artists who helped mold country music into what it is today. One of the names he included was Lesley Riddle, who actually taught Maybelle Carter the "Carter Scratch" and wrote several songs for the Carter Family. He played a significant role in framing what is now known as country music. Lesley is often referred to as the "founder of country music." This tweet has since been deleted, possibly due to some spelling errors. After some research, the only artist I could find outside of Lesley Riddle and the Carter Family, was DeFord Bailey — one of the Grand Ole Opry's most popular early performers. He then reflected on how their stories are rarely mentioned when it comes to the history of country music, but after learning about the influential figures on his own, he knew their legacy could never be "erased," no matter how much people tried. He concluded his tweets by explaining what he believed to be the essence of country music: Related: Sophie Turner Opened Up About Her "Incredibly Sad" Split From Joe Jonas And of course, it caused quite a stir on the internet: American Music Awards / Twitter: @beyoncegarden While some users on YouTube also had some opinions to share: "According to the PBS documentary on the history of country music, the Carter Family started off by doing covers of Black folk and gospel songs. And then later hired and became close friends with a black country legend named "Lesley Riddle". Who was the inventor of the famous country guitar picking style Who then became a mentor, freind producer and co writer for the family," wrote one person. "Love Shaboozey and his candid yet contained reaction. I also think folks ought to cut Megan some slack. Presenters at awards shows don't write their own script. Their job is to read whatever it is the producers put in the teleprompter," wrote another. You can watch the full moment below: What do you think of his reaction? Let me know in the comments.

Benson Boone, Teddy Swims And Shaboozey: One Year On, Still Living Inside The Top 10
It's not terribly common for songs to spend a full year on the Hot 100. The ranking, which blends sales, airplay, and streaming data to identify the most-consumed tracks in the U.S., tends to favor the new and the exciting. Most songs — especially the ones that debut with some vigor — stick around for a few weeks, maybe a month or two, and then quietly fade away. Seeing any single hang on for months is impressive. And a full year? That's a surefire sign of a legitimate hit. More and more, though, the biggest smash singles are showing that they have staying power. This week, three songs currently inside the top 10 of the Hot 100 have been present on the ranking for at least 52 weeks, a milestone that used to feel far more rare. Two of these hits have already passed the one-year mark, while one just gets there now. The fact that all three — "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey, "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims, and "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone — are still not just charting, but thriving near the top of the list, highlights how streaming platforms reward already-massive wins and radio stations remain loyal to what they know works. The newest member of the yearlong club is "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey. This frame, the track celebrates its fifty-second week on the Hot 100. As it does so, it slides slightly from No. 4 to No. 6, which is an impressive position for any tune at any point – let alone after months of living inside the highest tier. Of the three long-haulers in the top 10 right now, this is the highest-charting title. The longest-charting of the three top 10 hits this frame is Teddy Swims' "Lose Control." The soulful breakout single has now racked up an astounding 86 weeks on the Hot 100. That places it among the longest-running songs in the chart's history, as it has already claimed the fourth-longest stay ever, and it is still going strong. This week, "Lose Control" only slips two spaces to No. 8. The track has become Swims' signature hit, even as he has several newer focuses on the chart at the moment. The third member of this elite trio is "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone. That catchy cut reenters the top 10 this frame by rising from No. 11 to No. 10. This latest period marks the song's sixty-third week on the Hot 100. "Beautiful Things" stands out because of the fact that it's the only one of these three tracks that hasn't yet hit No. 1. It came incredibly close, stalling at No. 2, but that near miss hasn't affected its long-term success.

Shaboozey won't be part of Josh Weil's DeLand campaign town hall
An announcement earlier this week that Shaboozey — a crossover rap-rock-country artist with a longstanding No. 1 single — would be joining a congressional candidate at a town hall in DeLand was wrong. The Josh Weil campaign announced just before 3 p.m. Tuesday that it will host a town hall with the rapper/political activist Killer Mike from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Sanborn Center in DeLand. That's Wednesday, not Thursday, without Shaboozey. The earlier announcement — which came Saturday in an email — had included the "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" singer on the billing and was premature. "Our team was in conversation with Shaboozey last week about him campaigning with Josh at an event in-person this week," Wendy Garcia, the campaign manager, said in a prepared statement on Tuesday. "Unfortunately, Shaboozey won't be able to make it to the event tomorrow night." Chris Graham, a spokesman for the City of DeLand, which runs the Sanborn Center, said the campaign booked the venue for Wednesday, not Thursday. He also said when he asked about Shaboozey, the campaign said it was a "rumor."
