Machine Gun Kelly Debuts Two-Tone Hair at 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards as He Attends Without Megan Fox

Machine Gun Kelly brought a major hair change to the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards!

On Thursday, Sept. 26, the singer-songwriter, 34, stepped out solo at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House. And while many were hoping for a couple style moment from him and Megan Fox, the musician's look did not disappoint.

MGK went full punk rokc in a black leather vest teamed with pleated high-waist trousers, a short-sleeve button-down that showed off his tattoo sleeves, skinny "LV" tie and two-two blonde and black hair look that was serving a hint of Cruella de Vil.

Kelly was announced as a 2024 PCCAs performer, along with Brad Paisley, earlier this week. The stars joined an already stacked lineup of performers, including Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady A, Miranda Lambert, Parker McCollum and The War and Treaty.

The musician’s appearance at the awards show comes as he crossed into country by collaborating with Jelly Roll for their track “Lonely Road” — for which Fox starred in the music video — and releasing a cover of The Chicks' "There's Your Trouble.”

Kelly's solo appearance at the PCCAs comes after reports of bumpiness in their relationship earlier this year. In March, a source close to the pair — who began dating in 2020 and announced their engagement in January 2022 — told PEOPLE that "one day they’re up, the next they’re down.”

The same source also told PEOPLE that the couple’s headline-making intensity is “still there nearly four years into their relationship, but that's not necessarily ‘healthy.’ ”

Though the pair has since made public appearances together, they haven’t said much publicly about the current status of their relationship.

In March, however, Fox did say on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she knows she “will always be connected to [Kelly] somehow.”

After telling host Alex Cooper, “I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se,” she gave a more broad statement about the pair’s connection.

"What I can say, that [he is] what I refer to as being my twin soul, and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what. I can't say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow,” Fox said at the time. "Beyond that, I'm not willing to explain.”

The 2024 PCCAs will air live on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
