Megan Moroney wowed fans at the 2025 AMAs with a stunning Hollywood glam look.
At the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) on May 26 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, country music star Megan Moroney, who is 27 years old, was glammed up in her own southern comfort and style, but you could still see she had her roots in country, and by choice was stepping into the pop spotlight and fame.
Moroney wore a sparkling gown on the red carpet that caught the eye of many. Her gown had several sparkling details; between the longer train and the open back, many elements of her signature style were rather southern glamour while still fully letting go of the glimmer and shine of the AMAs event she was attending.
Plus, her confidence was more than likely the most attention-getting image of the evening, so proud and confident in who she is and all she has achieved at such an early age in her singing career with the country music industry.
Moroney’s appearance sparked discussion among fans and fashion enthusiasts throughout the evening. Some complimented her for going in a different direction on the red carpet, while others did not feel she quite maintained the “tone” of the AMAs.
Despite the mixed reviews, Moroney’s ensemble showed she is an artist who is not afraid to push boundaries and express herself.
In addition to her red carpet attire, Moroney was also nominated for Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album for “Am I Okay?”. Although she did not take home an award, her nominations mark her as an emerging new star in country music.
Moroney took the stage to present the Favorite Country Duo or Group, which went to Dan + Shay. What followed was her presenting the award with the full statement that the Carter Family, “like pretty much invented country music.”
This produced a response from rapper Shaboozey, about whom I will comment on later, but his response to Moroney’s comment was a reflection of what is still being hotly contested by many. Many counties of genres of country came from many artists.
Jennifer Lopez presented the 2025 AMAs, where music talent was feted in all its breadth. Billie Eilish was the most awarded artist of the evening with seven wins, including wins for Artist of the Year and Album of the Year.
Some other winners of the evening include Beyoncé, who took home Favorite Female Country Artist, and Dan + Shay, who took Favorite Country Duo or Group.
Megan Moroney’s appearance at the AMAs also indicates her as a rising star who personifies the discrepancy between a vintage country look with contemporary style.
It will be intriguing to observe how she keeps going forward as an artist. Therefore, it is okay that fans can just keep looking forward to more contrasts and honesty in her work.
Megan Moroney’s attendance at the AMAs gave further credence to her versatility as a performer, her ability to marry traditional country sensibilities with contemporary style, and that she’s likely not done making big, bold decisions with her look or her music career.
