Shaboozey Explains Why He Side-Eyed Megan Moroney’s “Carter Family Invented Country Music” Comment During AMA Presentation

Last night at the American Music Awards at Fontainebleau Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fan-voted music awards show highlighted all genres, similar to the Grammy Awards, and a few faces of country music were present last night. Lainey Wilson performed her new single “Somewhere Over Laredo” and blew the roof off the arena.
Megan Moroney and Shaboozey were also in the building and were tasked with announcing the winner of Favorite Country Duo or Group. As the two presented the award, part of the script the AMAs provided to the rising country artists led to an awkward viral moment.
“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.”
Shaboozey read off the teleprompter. Megan Moroney then read her lines of the script, speaking about a few other notable winners in the category.
“That same year, favorite female artist went to Lynn Anderson, and this award went to the Carter Family, who basically invented country music.”
After Moroney made the statement about the Carter Family, which consisted of A.P. Carter, Sara Carter, and Maybelle Carter, Shaboozey gave Moroney a major side-eye. Shaboozey then laughed awkwardly before continuing with the script, announcing the nominees for the category.
