What to Know About Carter Family History and Shaboozey's Reaction to AMAs Script
- At the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26 in Las Vegas, Megan Moroney and Shaboozey presented the Favorite Country Duo or Group award.

- This moment sparked renewed discussion about the under-recognized role of Black musicians in country music and highlights the genre's complex cultural origins.
