Megan Moroney isn’t one for, ahem, splitting hairs. When a TikTok user posted a video criticizing the country star’s hair extensions at the 2024 CMA Awards (held Wednesday, November 20) she didn’t miss a beat before clapping back. The video in question featured a shot of the TV screen showing Moroney, 27, accepting her award for best new artist of the year. The user went off in the caption, claiming the country singer’s extensions were two different colors. “I swear the hairstylist brain never shuts off. Who matched her extensions???” the user wrote. Adding: “She’s golden on the top and ashy ends.” Since then, the video has amassed 900,000 views (and counting), one of which was apparently Moroney, who responded with a sarcastic but no less pointed response, writing: “Very nice of u!” Other commenters were quick to come to Moroney’s defense. “As a fellow extension blondie, it’s the lighting! You looked beautiful, congratulations!” one user replied to her comment. “Literally. Megan looked BEAUTIFUL. Her hair slayed the outfit slayed, like, they need to leave her alone,” said another. A third wrote, “You looked beautiful Meg, don’t let this one comment overshadow the hundreds others praising you!” Indeed, Moroney was a winner in more ways than one, not least of all for her red-carpet style. The singer stunned in an ultramarine Christian Siriano mermaid gown with a dramatic organza tulle skirt that earned her a top spot on Us Weekly ’s annual CMA Awards best-dressed list . Speaking on Hulu’s red carpet live stream, Moroney described her look as “very blue and very sparkly.” She accessorized with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a custom Edie Parker clutch that spelled out the name of her latest album, “Am I Okay?” in pitch-perfect blue cursive lettering. Moroney went full country glamour above the neck. Her bright blond tresses were thoroughly teased, fluffed and curled into a crown of big barrel waves. Meanwhile, makeup artist Jessica Candage used SHEGLAM products to create the singer’s bold lashes, glitter-flecked eye shadow and glossy pink lips. The end result read: southern belle, but make it red carpet. You have successfully subscribed.

(AP) — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns, including two scores to running back De'Von Achane, and the Miami Dolphins routed the New England Patriots 34-15 on Sunday. The Dolphins (5-6) have a thin margin for error the rest of the season but have kept themselves afloat with a three-game winning streak. With their win at New England (3-9) in Week 5, the Dolphins have swept their division rivals in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999-2000. Tagovailoa, who moved to 7-0 in his career against New England, entered the game with a league-high 73.4% completion rate and went 29 for 40. Backup Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa with about 11 minutes left in what was already a blowout, but a bad handoff on his first play resulted in a fumble that was recovered by cornerback Christian Gonzalez and returned 63 yards for a touchdown. It cut New England's deficit to 31-15, and Tagovailoa returned the next drive. Miami's defense held the rest of the way. Linebacker Tyrel Dodson intercepted rookie quarterback Drake Maye on New England's penultimate drive, then Miami stopped the Patriots on fourth down on the next. Jaylen Waddle caught eight passes for a season-high 144 yards and a 23-yard touchdown that stretched Miami's lead to 31-0 entering the fourth. Achane scored on a 9-yard screen pass and then walked into the end zone for an 11-yard TD in the first half. Jonnu Smith finished with 87 yards on nine catches to continue his strong first season as a Dolphin. One week after catching two touchdowns with a career-high 101 yards receiving, Smith found the end zone for a 7-yard TD catch on the Dolphins' second drive. New England was shut out until tight end Austin Hooper got behind the Dolphins defense for a wide-open 38-yard touchdown catch from Maye to make it 31-7 with 13:43 left. Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 221 yards with 26 yards rushing. But he couldn't overcome an overall sloppy performance by the Patriots in which they got nothing going offensively until the final quarter. New England's best drive of the first half lasted 12 plays and covered 80 yards but included three accepted offensive penalties and ended in a missed 45-yard field goal by Joey Slye. The Patriots forced a Dolphins punt and moved down the field again on the opening drive of the second half, with Maye completing an improvised 10-yard throw on third down to receiver Kendrick Bourne. New England then tried a double pass with Bourne, whose cross-field throw fell short of Rhamondre Stevenson on 3rd-and-17. DeMario Douglas led the Patriots with 61 yards receiving. Antonio Gibson had six rushes for 30 yards. Dolphins: LB Anthony Walker Jr. sustained a noncontact hamstring injury in the second quarter. He was helped slowly off the field by trainers and did not return. Patriots: Host Indianapolis next Sunday. Dolphins: At Green Bay on Thursday. AP NFL:

Dejan Kulusevski cannot wait for the opportunity to play against Manchester City again after Tottenham ran riot at the Etihad Stadium. The Sweden midfielder hailed Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of the champions as the best game of his career. The 24-year-old delivered an outstanding performance as Spurs shattered the champions’ 52-game unbeaten home run, helping start the rout with a superb cross for James Maddison’s opening goal. Kulusevski said: “I believed (we would win) this because in the past years, we’ve come here and played really well. “So this is the game I look forward to most in the year and, once again, it happened – glory to God. “I’d say it’s the best result ever in my career. It’s a big night for the whole club, for the coach, for the players. “Because City have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality. “It’s always great to play great teams because they always want to play football. When you play lower teams, sometimes it’s not. There’s not much football played because they are a lot of fouls, a lot of injuries and it’s slow going.” Maddison stole the show with two goals in quick succession in the first half while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson later got on the scoresheet.

Asked if his form made him feel “unstoppable”, Kulusevski said: “I feel like that. I feel very good and I’m trying to keep this way. I’m very happy, I’m trying to improve. “I started the season good but there is over half of the season left and I hope I can do much better. “I think I have something that no other player has. With my engine, with my heart – I don’t get tired – I feel like I can do a lot still in my career.” Spurs have won more matches against Pep Guardiola's Man City than any other side 👀 pic.twitter.com/BHLZqde9sP — Premier League (@premierleague) November 23, 2024 Tottenham’s scintillating performance marked a spectacular return to form after their dismal loss to Ipswich in their previous Premier League outing. Kulusevski said: “We have to be much more consistent. It’s not a turning point. We just have to be better in other games. “This game suited us perfectly but we have a lot of improvement to make in the other games.”
