Shaboozey gave Megan Moroney a shady side-eye at the American Music Awards 2025 after she claimed the Carter Family “basically invented” country music.

During Monday’s live show, the two singers took the stage to present the award for favorite country duo or group.

“Country music has been an important part of AMA history,” Shaboozey, born Collins Obinna Chibuez, read from the teleprompter.

“The very first year of this show, the award for favorite male country artist went to the great Charlie Pride.”

Moroney, 27, then read, “That same year, favorite female artist went to Lynn Anderson, and this award went to the Carter Family, who basically invented country music.”

Shaboozey, 30, seemed to be taken by surprise at Moroney’s remarks and side-eyed her before pausing to really take in what she said.

The “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer then laughed before continuing to say that the nominees in that category were “very impressive.”

Page Six has reached out to both Shaboozey and Moroney’s reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

According to the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Carter Family — which consisted of P. Carter, Sara Carter and Maybelle Carter — was nicknamed “The First Family of Country Music.”

The late trio was also the first vocal group to become country music stars and was among the first groups to record commercially produced country music.

However, the trio was heavily influenced by relatively unknown African-American musicians such as Lesley Riddle.

However, the Carter Family was heavily influenced by relatively unknown African-American musicians such as Lesley Riddle and Duford Black, the first black American to play on the Grand Ole Opry stage.

Riddle met the Carter Family in 1928 and he composed and/or transmitted a number of their hit songs, including “Cannonball Blues,” “Hello Stranger,” “I Know What It Means To Be Lonesome,” “March Winds Goin’ Blow My Blues Away” and “Lonesome For You.”

Maybelle even included elements of Riddle’s guitar technique into her music.
