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.
  • Moroney claimed the Carter Family invented country music, a statement that overlooks earlier Black musicians like Lesley Riddle who influenced the genre's early growth.
  • The Carter Family were foundational 1920s country icons known for hits such as 'Keep on the Sunny Side,' but they drew heavily on material collected from Black artists like Riddle.
  • Shaboozey rolled his eyes noticeably during Moroney's remarks and later posted on X that the true history of country music centers on unity and appreciating the commonalities that bring people together.
  • This moment sparked renewed discussion about the under-recognized role of Black musicians in country music and highlights the genre's complex cultural origins.
