Megan Moroney Switches Brad Pitt Lyric in “Miss Universe” for a Different Hollywood Heartthrob

Releasing her second studio album, Am I Okay?, back in July 2024, Megan Moroney wanted to celebrate her work with her Am I Okay? Tour. Excited to get back to the stage, the country singer loved soaking in the spotlight as she performed songs about past lovers, the sting of heartbreak, and even hanging with her friends. Traveling to Huntsville, Alabama for another concert, Moroney shocked fans when she decided to change the lyrics to โ€œMiss Universe.โ€ Taking out Brad Pittโ€™s name from the song, the singer switched it to another Hollywood star, Glen Powell.

When it comes to Hollywood, Pitt is considered an A-list actor. Able to draw a crowd to theaters, it seemed appropriate that Moroney would add the actor to her song. But when performing at the Orion Amphitheater, she switched it up. For fans of the singer, they instantly picked up on the change as the original lyric included, โ€œCause Iโ€™da left him first if Iโ€™da met Brad Pitt.โ€ But at the time, she sang, โ€œCause Iโ€™da left him first if Iโ€™da met Glen Powell.”ย

Becoming the new heartthrob of Hollywood, the actor recently appeared in the film Anyone But You. The movie also featured Sydney Sweeney, who appeared in Quentin Tarantinoโ€™s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.ย
