Megan Moroney claps back at criticism of CMA Awards 2024 hair extensions

Megan Moroney isn’t putting up with negative comments online.

Following her CMA Awards 2024 appearance on Wednesday, a TikTok user shared a video criticizing the country artist’s extensions.

The user zoomed in on Moroney, 27, accepting her award for new artist of the year, writing, “I swear the hairstylist brain never shuts off. Who matched her extensions???”

In the caption, the TikToker added, “Shes golden on the top and ashy ends”

It didn’t take long for Moroney to clap back.

 “Very nice of u!” the musician sarcastically wrote in the comment section.

Other users quickly stood up for Moroney.

“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!” one person said.

Another added, ‘me , an extension and blonding stylist , thinking “OMG she looks stunning” 😍”

Though the “Am I Okay?” singer sported a long, wavy look at the ceremony, Moroney has naturally curly hair.

In fact, she talked about her relationship with her locks in an X (formerly Twitter) post last August.

“used to hate my natural hair for some reason but she’s growing on me 🫶🏼💕🦁”

Moroney’s three looks at the ceremony — a bright blue custom Cristian Siriano gown and a crystal-adorned silver mini dress, followed by a more understated silver mini — also made waves. She carried a custom Edie Parker clutch customized with her sophomore album title, “Am I Okay?.”

Nominated for three awards and taking home one on Wednesday night, Moroney is shaping up to be one of country’s biggest stars.

In July, the Georgia-born musician hit No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart.
