Shaboozey's reaction to Megan Moroney's Carter family comment at AMAs 2025 goes viral
During their joint appearance to present the Favourite Country Duo or Group category, Moroney said, 'That same year, Favourite Female Artist went to Lynn Anderson, and this award went to the Carter family, who basically invented country music.'
Shaboozey briefly paused, gave a confused sideways glance to Moroney, laughed, and continued presenting the nominees, a moment quickly picked up and shared across social media platforms. The award ultimately went to Dan and Shay.

The Carter Family, often credited with influencing country music's development, recorded enduring folk classics such as 'Can the Circle Be Unbroken' and 'Wildwood Flower.' June Carter, later known as June Carter Cash, was famously portrayed by Reese Witherspoon in the film Walk the Line.
Shaboozey's reaction may have subtly referenced Beyoncé's recent work, especially her 'Cowboy Carter' era. Beyoncé won Favourite Female Country Artist and Favourite Country Album at this year's AMAs.
The event, hosted by Jennifer Lopez at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, also celebrated Eminem's first AMAs wins in 15 years and Billie Eilish sweeping seven categories, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé secure $57 million mortgage on Bel Air property amid tour and real estate moves
Jay-Z and Beyoncé have reportedly taken out a new $57.75 million mortgage on their Bel Air mansion, adding to the significant borrowing already tied to the property. Originally purchased in 2017 for $88 million, the luxury home has become a focal point in the couple's real estate portfolio. According to recent reports, the new mortgage increases their total loan amount on the property to $110 million. This latest loan is structured as a 30-year agreement, with an initial interest rate of 5% for the first decade. Monthly payments on this new loan are estimated to be around $310,000. This follows a previous loan taken out in 2021, where the couple secured $52.8 million at a 3.15% rate through Goldman Sachs, resulting in monthly payments of approximately $226,901. The Bel Air estate features 11 bedrooms, four pools, a wellness centre, a spa, a media room and other amenities across six interconnected structures designed by Dean McKillen. Property taxes alone are estimated to be around $100,343 per month. This development coincides with the final dates of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter world tour, which began in April and is scheduled to conclude in Las Vegas on July 26 and 27. The tour has visited several major cities, including Chicago, London, and Los Angeles. Though the reason for the refinancing remains undisclosed, it comes as the couple continues to maintain multiple high-value properties, including a $200 million California estate acquired in 2023.

Was Beyoncé's Atlanta show sabotaged by a cockroach?
Beyoncé's Atlanta concert ended in chaos as 11 fans were injured in a bizarre post-show incident involving a scream, a stampede, and a suspected cockroach. Just after midnight on July 15, concert-goers exiting the final night of the singer's Cowboy Carter tour at Mercedes-Benz Stadium packed into the nearby Vine City MARTA station. That's when panic broke out. According to MARTA officials, a 10-year-old girl reportedly screamed after spotting a bug, possibly a cockroach, near the escalator. That scream allegedly triggered a stampede on the crowded moving escalator, which abruptly sped up before coming to a sudden halt. Passengers began toppling over one another, leading to injuries ranging from cuts and bruises to a broken ankle. Footage from the scene shows a chaotic human pile-up, with bystanders rushing to help as the escalator surged then stopped. 'It just created a whole entire slide full of people,' one attendee told local media. 'People were just tumbling on each other.' Though MARTA initially suspected a malfunction, escalator manufacturer Schindler later claimed the system was working as designed but had been overloaded beyond capacity. The escalator has since been barricaded pending further investigation. Online, the incident quickly went viral. TikTok users shared videos of the fall and debated who, or what, was to blame. One video, claiming the screamer was a child frightened by a 'Palmetto bug,' racked up thousands of views. MARTA police and state officials are continuing to review footage and witness accounts, but for now, a simple bug has become the unlikely villain in a night meant to celebrate one of the world's biggest stars.

Unreleased Beyoncé music stolen from rental car
Computer drives containing unreleased music by US superstar Beyoncé and plans related to her concerts were stolen last week in Atlanta, police said Monday, with a suspect still at large. As per AFP, the items were stolen from a rental car used by Beyoncé's choreographer and a dancer on July 8, two days before the pop icon kicked off the Atlanta leg of her Cowboy Carter tour, a police incident report said. Choreographer Christopher Grant, 37, told police that he returned to the car to find its rear-window smashed and their luggage stolen. Inside were multiple jump drives that "contained water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set list (sic)," the report said. Also missing were an Apple MacBook, headphones and several items of luxury clothing. Police investigated an area where the MacBook and headphones had pinged their location, but the report did not mention any items being recovered. Atlanta Police said in an online statement that a warrant had been issued for an unnamed suspect's arrest, but that the suspect remained at large. The Cowboy Carter tour kicked off in April after the global superstar took home her first Album of the Year Grammy for the 2024 album. The sweeping country-themed work saw Beyoncé stake out musical territory in a different genre from much of her previous discography. The ambitious, historically rooted album also aimed to elevate and showcase the work of other Black artists in country music, whose rich contributions the industry has repeatedly sidelined. As her stadium tour to promote the album winds down, Beyoncé ended her four-night stint in Atlanta on Monday, with two final performances set for late July in Las Vegas.
