Megan Moroney has responded to a fan who criticized her hair after her performance at the 2024 CMA Awards on Wednesday night.
The 27-year-old country singer – who won New Artist of the Year at the ceremony – left a comment on a TikTok video in which a social media user criticized the color of her long, voluminous, icy blonde locks.
The person, a hairstylist named Melissa, recorded Megan accepting her award and wrote over the clip, “I swear the hairstylist’s brain never turns off.” Who matched her extensions???’
She explained her complaint in the caption, writing about the shades in Megan’s hair: “It’s golden on the top and asymmetrical ends.”
The Am I OK? music artist responded sarcastically in the comments: “Very nice of you!” Her clapback has received over 14,000 likes so far.
Many people came to Moroney’s defense, with one writing beneath the clip: ‘Who cares?! She’s Megan Moroney and she looked absolutely beautiful!

A hairstylist named Melissa recorded Megan accepting her award and wrote over the clip, “I swear the hairstylist’s brain never turns off. Who matched her extensions???’
Someone else weighed in: ‘As a fellow extension blonde, it’s the lighting! You looked beautiful, congratulations!’
Another also pointed out the stage’s powerful lighting: ‘It’s the lighting! Hairstylist or not, why point that out when you should be pointing out what she just won! She’s so talented!’
‘I saw it, but honestly thought it was the lighting. I didn’t really notice it when she performed,” one viewer commented.
The singer styled her flowing locks in a side parting and uniform barrel curls that flowed down her back and across her chest.
Moroney had a busy night at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, where she took home the New Artist of the Year award and also performed her hit song.
For the special occasion, the Douglasville, Georgia native walked the red carpet in a custom royal blue Christian Siriano mermaid dress with a statement-making tulle skirt.
The fashionista complemented the down with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a personalized Edie Parker clutch that spelled out her latest album title, Am I Oke?, in blue cursive letters.
She later changed up her ensemble and donned a sparkling silver minidress with a sweetheart neckline and a flirty, flared skirt. The glittering outing was completed with a pair of knee-length white cowboy boots.
She explained her complaint in the caption, writing about the tones in Megan’s hair: “She’s golden on the top and asymmetrical ends.”

And after the win on Instagram, she reiterated her appreciation.
She shared photos from the evening with her 1.5 million followers, writing: ‘Last night happened thanks to all of you. thank you a million times. Wow.’
