The country singer hopped on Instagram Tuesday and told trolls to quit hating on Megan after she said The Carter Family "basically invented country music" while they both presented the favorite country duo or group award at the AMAs in Vegas Monday night.
He noted his meme-worthy reaction to her statement "had nothing to do with her" and went on to praise her as an "incredibly talented, hard-working artist who’s doing amazing things for country music."

(He misspelled a couple names in his tweet.)
