It did not seem like Morgan Wallen enjoyed his time on “Saturday Night Live” as the musical guest this past weekend.
First, it was the promos that they posted hyping the show. Where Morgan couldn’t have looked less interested . . . leading to a lot of fans calling them “cringe”.
The performances were fine, he sang “Just in Case“ and the “I’m the Problem“ . . .which is the title of his new album, due out on May 16th. But it was what happened at the end of the show that’s got everybody talking.
Usually when the show is over, the host and the musical guest say goodnight, and everybody stays on stage and mingles with each other as the credits roll.
The host was recent Oscar-winner, Mikey Madison. Mikey and Morgan hugged and she turned around to talk to the cast. But I guess Morgan had enough at that moment, because instead of joining the cast he just walked directly out towards the camera and into the audience.
A few of the cast members seemed to be amused by it.
And then on his Instagram stories not long after, Morgan posted a photo of his private jet with the caption, “Get me to God’s country.”
To be fair, sources close to Morgan say it was an honest mistake and he meant nothing by it. Maybe Morgan would just rather be at home in Tennessee than New York City? Can’t blame him for that.
