MGK and the rest of his band were on stage at Houston’s NRG stadium as part of the Houston Livestock Show, and his quasi-Western style was a hat tip to the hometown crowd.
He seemed to enjoy playing in front of the Texas crowd, and he reportedly asked his fans during the show: ‘Do you want me to move to Texas?’
He continued: ‘I could do it. My life is in chaos.’
Earlier that evening, around 5 p.m., MGK was pictured at the Bayou & Bottle bar in Houston’s Four Seasons hotel while chatting with a mystery blond woman.
The former rapper was dressed in a low-key manner with a plaid shirt and a backward black baseball cap that featured a white skull design.
The blond woman was dressed casually in a black leather jacket with blue jeans.
MGK was apparently only at the bar for a short time, and an onlooker claimed that he looked ‘slightly agitated.’
His onstage outing with his guitarist Sophie comes after his fiancée seemed to give credence to rumors that the two had carried on an affair, though Megan later publicly absolved Sophie of any wrongdoing.

Chewing the fat: Before the show, MGK briefly dropped by the Four Season’s bar, where he was seen speaking to a blond woman while looking ‘slightly agitated’
‘He probably got with Sophie,’ a fan wrote on Instagram, to which Megan replied, ‘Maybe I got with Sophie.’
But Lloyd went on to release a statement in which she called the rumors of an affair ‘meritless’ and ‘disrespectful.’
‘Sophie Lloyd is a professional, accomplished musician who has been needlessly dragged into the media based off of meritless accusations made by social media,’ read the statement, which was provided to Page Six.
‘Any suggestion that she has ever acted in an unprofessional manner or stepped out of her relationship are untrue. It’s disrespectful to her as a female artist and poor journalism and social commentary to be reporting anything else.’
But Megan later changed her tone and defended the guitarist with a lengthy comment on one of Sophie’s Instagram posts.
She wrote that she had made ‘a joke in order to absolve this girl of a hurtful accusation,’ which ‘somehow turned into a confirmation of it’ in the minds of fans.’
‘Why are people so…so dumb,’ she continued, while calling Sophie ‘insanely talented.’
‘Welcome to Hollywood. Your first unwarranted PR disaster,’ Megan added. ‘You have now been baptized by the flames of fame.
‘It only gets worse from here unfortunately.’
The status of Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox’s relationship appears to be up in the air.
Although the two have not given a public update, a source told Page Six that they are ‘broken up,’ though Megan is reportedly still evaluating whether the relationship can be repaired.

Megan later clarified that her partner had not cheated on her, though a source told People that they were ‘still not in a good place’ as of late February.
At the end of last month, Page Six reported that the two were attending daily Zoom couples therapy sessions as they tried to save their relationship.
However, the Jennifer’s Body star ramped up speculation that they had split after she attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday night sans her engagement ring.
The ring features a diamond and an emerald held together with a magnet. However, the ring also has ‘thorns’ sticking out of it that MGK said are designed to make it ‘hurt’ if Megan ever removes it.
