Annie Agar, the social media sensation known for her football skits, is catching heat online after unveiling her Halloween costume—and it's not because fans think it's too scary. The influencer, who built her brand with clever commentary during the pandemic, sparked a wave of criticism with a University of Michigan-themed outfit that many say just doesn't land.
On Saturday night, Agar took to X to show off her costume: a Bryce Underwood jersey paired with a Carrie Underwood-inspired look, complete with blonde hair and a microphone. The getup was meant to poke fun at the Wolverines' ongoing cheating scandal, but the execution left fans scratching their heads.
The issue? Underwood, the star quarterback recruit, has zero connection to the Jim Harbaugh or Connor Stalions saga, nor is he linked to the Sherrone Moore controversy. As one fan put it, "If most people have to try and figure out what this costume is, it's a swing and a miss."
The backlash was swift and unanimous across social media. "Well… you failed this year at creative…," wrote one critic. Another added, "I'm not exactly a Michigan fan, but this is just stupid." The comments kept coming: "This gotta be the dumbest costume I've ever seen," and "This joke doesn't even make sense."
Even those who aren't fans of the Wolverines found the joke confusing. "Hey Annie this costume doesn't make sense," one user chimed in, while another couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity: "This joke doesn't even make sense 😂😂😂😂😂."
Agar, who boasts millions of followers across X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, is no stranger to attention—but this time, it's for all the wrong reasons. While she's certainly getting people talking, the consensus seems to be that her shot at Michigan missed the mark entirely.
It's not the first time a sports figure's Halloween costume has caused a stir. Paige Spiranac's Princess Peach look had fans in a frenzy, and Genie Bouchard's Britney Spears tribute broke the internet. But Agar's attempt to blend football and pop culture fell flat.
As the Halloween weekend wraps up, Agar might want to take notes from Trinity Rodman's mermaid costume or Paige Spiranac's Princess Leia ensemble—both of which were met with praise. For now, the Michigan-themed joke seems destined for the Halloween hall of shame.
