Megan Moroney responds to backlash over her CMA Awards 2024 hair extensions
After making waves at the CMA Awards 2024, Megan Moroney isn’t letting negativity get to her. The country singer faced criticism from a TikTok user who posted a video zooming in on her during her acceptance speech for the New Artist of the Year award. The user quipped, “Who matched her extensions???” and pointed out the color mismatch, saying, “She’s golden on the top and ashy ends.”
Megan wasted no time firing back with her own sarcastic remark in the comments: “Very nice of u!” Her response drew support from fans who defended her look, saying, “It’s the lighting! Why focus on that when you should be celebrating her big win? She’s incredibly talented!” Another commenter praised her styling, saying, “OMG she looks stunning.”
Moroney’s style at the event included a striking long, wavy look, although she naturally sports curly hair. In a previous post on social media, she mentioned her evolving feelings toward her natural locks, stating, “Used to hate my natural hair for some reason but she’s growing on me.” At the CMA Awards, Moroney dazzled in a custom bright blue gown by Cristian Siriano and a glitzy silver mini dress, even carrying a personalized Edie Parker clutch featuring her album title, “Am I Okay?”
With three nominations and one award to her name, Moroney is rapidly establishing herself as a significant force in country music, having reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart earlier this year. As she continues to rise, her fans remain vocal in their support, standing by her side against unwarranted criticism.
