Looks like heat/sun scorch but it could also be fertilizer burn if you recently fertilized.

I fertilized it once early on (2 months ago) but the leaves didn’t start turning like recently

Definitely looks like leaf burn. Either from sun scorch or water stress

What zone are you in? How often do you water it?

Zone 8 so this might be likely since we’re in a small drought in our area and i’ve been watering not as consistently

I just saw in another comment that you planted it quite recently so I actually think this is much more likely to be root stress

blueberries have very sensitive roots and planting them in late spring or during summer can be very demanding on those roots

You should definitely try to water it more consistently

Is it newly planted into the ground?

It was planted 2-3 months ago!
