HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA: Megan Moroney is no stranger to switching things up on stage, and at her recent show in Huntsville, Alabama, she gave fans a blink-and-you’ll miss-it moment that had everyone buzzing.

While performing her song 'Miss Universe' at The Orion Amphitheater, the country singer swapped out Brad Pitt’s name for a newer Hollywood heartthrob, Glen Powell.



 

Megan Moroney swaps Brad Pitt for Glen Powell in a surprise on-stage lyric change

Originally, the lyric goes, "Cause I’da left him first if I’da met Brad Pitt," but on this particular night in Huntsville, Megan Moroney sang, "Cause I’da left him first if I’da met Glen Powell," drawing cheers and a few raised eyebrows from fans in the crowd, as reported by Whiskey Riff.



 

In recent years, Powell has carved out his place in Hollywood, earning widespread attention with standout roles, most notably in 'Top Gun: Maverick'. Starring alongside Tom Cruise, the 36-year-old caught the eye of audiences everywhere, quickly becoming the internet’s latest crush.

His star continued to rise with a leading role in 'Anyone But You', where he shared the screen with Sydney Sweeney.

Dating rumors surrounding Powell and Sweeney lit up once again after she attended his sister’s wedding celebrations in Dallas, Texas, in late March. She was present not just at the wedding, but also at the rehearsal dinner, a family brunch, and even a Tex-Mex dinner (sans Powell).

As the 27-year-old actress recently called off her engagement with longtime partner Jonathan Davino, the timing raised a few eyebrows. Powell’s mom tried to shut it all down, telling reporters, "They’re definitely not together… She’s really a friend and we all enjoy her."

On the other hand, last year, Moroney wrote in a cheeky tweet, "Glen Powell do u want a song written about u asking for a friend."

"This is my new Roman Empire," one user commented. Another person wrote, "I’ve been singing it this way for everrrrrr i’m screaming." "She is just shooting her shot!!"  an individual expressed. 

Not everyone was on board, though. "Glen has nothing on Brad Pitt!!" one fan argued, while another pointed out, "I respect the play, @_megmoroney, but that doesn’t rhyme."
