‘Let's not twist the message': Country music star clears up viral AMAs moment
Shaboozey is setting the record straight about his viral moment at the American Music Awards Monday night. The 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' singer appeared to provide context behind the moment in an X post Tuesday, writing "When you uncover the true history of country music, you find a story so powerful that it cannot be erased." He then followed up with another post that read, 'The real history of country music is about people coming together despite their differences, and embracing and celebrating the things that make us alike.' Shaboozey's posts were in response to the viral moment where he appeared to side-eye Megan Moroney while the duo was presenting the award for favorite country duo or group. Continuous rain would not stop Megan Moroney fans from enjoying her performance on Friday, May 23, 2025 during Boston Calling at the Harvard Athletic Complex.

Continuous rain would not stop Megan Moroney fans from enjoying her performance on Friday, May 23, 2025 during Boston Calling at the Harvard Athletic Complex. 'Country music has been an important part of AMA history,' Shaboozey said a video clip of the award show. 'The very first year of this show, the award for Favorite Male Country Artist went to the great Charley Pride.' Pride, who died in 2020, is regarded as country music's first Black superstar. 'That same year, Favorite Female Artist went to Lynn Anderson,' Moroney said. 'And this award went to the Carter family, who basically invented country music.' Shaboozey was then seen side-eyeing and scrunching his face in apparent confusion. He then chuckles and proceeds to introduce the nominees. The reaction from the 'Good News' singer had people on social media convinced that Shaboozey was mocking Moroney for spreading false information. People even started bombarding the 'Tennesee Orange' singer's posts with rude comments such as, 'Thinking the Carter's 'basically' invented country music is hilarious,' and 'Let's do our research on where country music came from.' Shaboozey later came to Moroney's defense by clarifying his actions on one of her Instagram posts. 'Just want to clear something up: my reaction at the AMAs had nothing to do with Megan Moroney! 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,' Shaboozey wrote. 'I've seen some hateful comments directed at her today, and that's not what this moment was about. Let's not twist the message — she is amazing and someone who represents the country community in the highest light!" The Carters — consisting of A. P. Carter, Sara Dougherty Carter, and Maybelle Addington Carter — are considered 'the First Family of Country Music,' according to the Country Music Hall of Fame. The family is credited with inventing the kind of harmony and singing that is commonly used in country music today. Black musician Lesley Riddle also had an impact on The Cater's style. Riddle helped A.P. compose songs and taught Maybelle her famous 'Carter lick' guitar style.

SIX60 Revealed As Inaugural Aotearoa Charts Icon, Live At The 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards
As part of the celebration of 50 years of the Official Top 40 Music Charts in New Zealand, the Aotearoa Charts Icon award has been established by Recorded Music NZ to recognise local artists that have had significant success in the Official Charts over an extended period. As well as picking up the Te Taumata o te Hokona | Highest Selling Artist Tūī for a record-extending seventh time at AMA 2025, SIX60 was announced as the very first Aotearoa Charts Icon. For the last decade and a half, SIX60 has been a near constant fixture in the Aotearoa Charts. No local act has notched up more Top 40 Singles, with 28. No other New Zealand band has landed more #1 singles, with three. The band also have an incredible four #1 albums. Collectively, SIX60's releases have spent a combined 586 weeks on the Singles Chart and a staggering 1,232 weeks on the Albums Chart. SIX60's albums have collectively been certified 38x platinum, their singles 48x platinum. Their first #1 was their hit 'Rise Up 2.0' in September 2010. 'Special' hit the top of the Chart in November 2014 and 'All She Wrote' made it in March 2021. Many more of the group's songs have graced the Top 10, including stone cold NZ classics like 'Don't Forget Your Roots' (#2), 'White Lines' (#5), 'Don't Give It Up' (#4), 'Vibes' (#9), 'The Greatest' (#3), 'Please Don't Go' (#2), 'Pepeha' (#2) and 'Before You Leave' (#3), to name but a few. The hugely popular group were presented with the inaugural Aotearoa Charts Icon award, designed and sculpted in glass by internationally renowned artist Te Rongo Kirkwood. Kirkwood created the taonga following an initial concept design by Mark Roach of Muse Creative. The design centres on the kōtuku (white heron) feather, drawn from the whakataukī 'He kōtuku rerenga tahi' – 'a white heron's flight is seen but once.' In te ao Māori, the kōtuku symbolises rarity, prestige and mana. As such, presenting an award with this symbol acknowledges the recipient's exceptional impact and enduring legacy within the music landscape of Aotearoa. Recorded Music NZ CEO Jo Oliver says: 'SIX60's achievements in the Charts are iconic. We are very pleased to be able to recognise them with this new award in 2025 as we celebrate 50 years of the Official Music Charts in Aotearoa.

Blake Shelton Reacted To Criticism Of Gwen Stefani's AMAs Performance, But I Still Have A Question
Blake Shelton reacted to criticism of his and wife Gwen Stefani's American Music Awards appearance, but I still have questions. If you watched the AMAs this year, then you would have seen Blake introduce Gwen to perform a medley to mark the 20-year anniversary of her hit album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. As Blake said in the telecast, "Tonight, she's celebrating the 20th anniversary of her AMA win by performing two of her biggest hits and her biggest hit. Let's hear it for my one and only, the one and only, Gwen Stefani!" However, if you thought this was live, you'd be wrong. TikToks from attendees of the awards show itself showed that the segment had been prerecorded and then shown on screens at the awards venue. The same was true of Blake's performance. Rolling Stone notes that this is common practice — FWIW, I've been to two VMAs and never seen a prerecorded segment that was made to look like it was happening live on the same stage. The only solution is that I must be invited to more awards shows. Blake evidently caught wind of the chatter, because he took to X to write, "Just now seeing these stories about Gwen and I pretaping our performances for the AMA's. We came and performed when the show asked us to.. Really nothing else to say." Gwen then retwee— sorry, shared the post. It's certainly interesting stuff from a man who previously posted "'Stay Country Or Die Tryin'' LIVE from the @AMAs" with a link to his flag-themed performance. None of this answers my question, which is: Why is Gwen singing "Hollaback Girl" in a Southern accent? I am aware that Gwen has released country singles in recent years, and it's not uncommon for artists to reimagine their previous hits in the tone of their new projects (though Gwen has denied that her latest album is a country record). But this is just the same song with a country accent slapped on top. Gwen is from California. I have lived in the US for seven years, and moments like this make me question everything (one of my coworkers thinks she sounds the same, but I have a solid two in my corner). After a quick consultation of the internet, I can prove that there are dozens of us! Dozens! It's hard not to view this change in aesthetic from Mrs "I'm Japanese" as yet another symptom of pop culture's shift towards the right. Gwen's caught some heat for it before — two months ago, she hyped up an "enlightening intelligent beautiful interview" of Jonathan Roumie on Tucker Carlson. Well, the clip is here if you want to hear for yourself.
