Megan Moroney revealed an unexpected wardrobe mishap at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, recalling that her adhesive underwear fell off on the red carpet. The country singer said she removed the undergarment and handed it to her publicist, leaving her without underwear as she continued her appearance.
The 29-year-old shared the story during an interview with a news media outlet at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. When asked about the most outrageous fashion risk she had ever taken, Moroney recalled an incident from an ACM Awards ceremony several years earlier. Although the situation could have been embarrassing, she managed to carry on, and the incident did not become a widely reported wardrobe malfunction at the time.
Megan Moroney Reveals Sticky Underwear Mishap
Moroney explained that she had been wearing adhesive underwear to complement a dress at the ACM Awards when the garment unexpectedly fell off on the carpet.
'I'll tell you what my brain immediately went to. The ACM Awards a few years ago, I had these like sticky underwear on, and they fell off on the carpet,' she told E! News.
With the undergarment no longer staying in place, the singer decided to remove it and pass it to her publicist rather than risk further complications.
'Then I just took them off and gave them to my publicist. So yeah, I didn't have underwear on on the carpet. That's outrageous,' she added.
Moroney did not identify the dress she was wearing or explain exactly why the adhesive underwear fell off. However, her account suggests she dealt with the problem quickly and continued with her red-carpet appearance.
Fortunately, the incident did not turn into a widely reported wardrobe malfunction at the time. The singer was able to share the story years later as an example of the unexpected challenges that can accompany dressing for a major awards ceremony.
The Challenges Of Dressing For The Red Carpet
Adhesive underwear is often used beneath dresses that require a discreet finish, particularly designs with unusual cuts or silhouettes that make conventional undergarments difficult to accommodate.
These garments can help create a smooth look beneath an outfit, but their effectiveness depends on how well they remain in place. Moroney did not specify what caused her undergarment to fall off, and she did not blame a particular brand or designer.
Her experience nevertheless highlights the practical considerations involved in putting together a red-carpet look. Celebrities often work with stylists and publicists to prepare for major events, but unexpected problems can still arise once they arrive.
In Moroney's case, handing the garment to her publicist allowed her to deal with the situation without allowing it to derail her appearance. Rather than describing the incident as a major fashion disaster, she recalled it with humour during her later interview.
Megan Moroney Turns Heads At Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
The interview took place at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Culver City, California, on 18 October 2026. The event brought together models, musicians and other entertainment figures, with Moroney appearing on the red carpet before performing as part of the musical line-up.
For her carpet appearance, the singer wore a red chain-link-style minidress. She also spoke about confidence and individuality during her conversation with the media outlet.
'I think just embracing who I am, embracing my individuality,' she said. 'We're all unique.'
Moroney later performed three songs from her album Cloud 9: '6 Months Later', 'Wish I Didn't' and 'Sorry... I Meant Tonight'.
For her performance, she changed into a pink ensemble featuring a babydoll corset, a matching skirt and fluffy angel wings. The look complemented the colourful aesthetic associated with her latest album and the fashion-focused atmosphere of the show.
The appearance gave Moroney another opportunity to bring her music to an audience beyond the country genre. However, it was her candid recollection of the earlier ACM Awards incident that provided one of the most surprising details from her interview.
A Milestone In Her Country Music Career
Moroney has continued to build her profile in country music, winning the ACM Award for New Female Artist of the Year in 2024.
According to the original report, she received nine ACM nominations in the following awards cycle, including her first nomination for Entertainer of the Year, but did not take home a trophy. The report also states that she has received 10 ACM nominations overall.
These nomination figures should be checked against the Academy of Country Music's official records before publication to ensure the awards timeline and totals are accurate.
While her music remains central to her career, appearances at high-profile fashion events have also brought attention to her personal style and personality.
Moroney's story about the fallen adhesive underwear offers a more unexpected glimpse into life behind the glamour. What began as an awkward moment at an awards ceremony has become an anecdote she can laugh about, reminding fans that even carefully planned red-carpet appearances do not always go according to plan.
