Why did Morgan Wallen abruptly ran from the Saturday night live phase? He doesn’t say, but he hopes to make the speculation of a dime.

The 31-year-old Countryster, a magnet for controversy, was the musical guest at the show of March 29 with host Mikey Madison. After the Oscar-winning star of Aor Said goodnight and the credits rolled, the “I am the problem” singer popped up the polite features that usually follow with the cast – and the afterparty. He said goodbye to Madison, got off the stage, walked past the camera and was gone. Shortly thereafter, Wallen posted a photo on his Instagram stories from his private plane on the asphalt and wrote: “Go to God’s country.”

Social media have since tried to perform his abrupt departure. Although he did not explain what it was not about it, he now sells merchandise with the Nu-Virale sentence on his website.

This is what we know, from exit podium center to merch launch.

Wallen made his 2nd performance SNL

In the episode of March 29, Wallen had a small history with the show, because in October 2020 he was not invited as the musical guest after he broke Covid protocols. However, that seemed a long time behind him because he finally performed in the show in December 2020, even a joke about the drama in a sketch.

On Saturday, Wallen played the title track and “Just for Case” of his upcoming fourth album, I’m the problem – Without drama. During farewell he leaned in and said something off-camera to Madison before leaving the audience in Studio 8h. Madison and the cast did their festive thing in the background, hugging, high-fiving and jumping.

Wallen posted the photo ‘Get Me To God’s Country’

Speculation of social media immediately started about what happened. A photo of Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim supposedly reacting went viral and search tried to read Madison’s lips and the others who stayed on stage.

Which makes it one thing Was walls his Instagram photo of his private aircraft posted with the messages “Get me to God’s country”, because things really started to simmer.

Variety reported that a source close to Wallen said he liked being the musical guest and did not intend to insult someone with his exit or Instagram post. The Insider said that Red Lights simply followed the route of the stage that he used during rehearsals, and said that people should not look at it because there was no drama.

His publicist reportedly sent a press release on March 30 to bring his “Roisterous Return” back to the NBC show, but does not mention his strike, according to Country Music Stations, including the new Country 103.1 in Zuid -Florida.

SNL Players responded

Thompson confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that he “certainly saw” all at the moment.

“I don’t know what’s going through the spirit of people when they decide to do things like that. I don’t know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he really felt a certain way,” Thompson told the outlet. “We are so used to everyone just turning around and our high-fiving, everyone says,” Well done, good work, good work. ” So if there is a deviation from that, hmm, I wonder what that is about?

Thompson joked: “I thought he might have to go to the jar or something.”

SNL Writer Josh Patten shared a photo on his Instagram stories of a Krispy Kreme truck in a street in New York City and wrote: “Get me to God’s country.”

Page six reported that an insider said that Red Light District was asked to participate in a sketch for Saturday’s show, but ‘refused’. SNL Hired Joe Jonas to do it instead. The insider claimed that Reden “did what he was asked” in the show, but was “not super friendly”.

Morgan mocked the controversy

The singer spoke to the controversy in his own way with a quick merch. On his website he started selling a T -shirt and hats with the “God’s Country” line. The items each cost $ 45.

Wallen’s Fanclub shared an image of the new products with Instagram and he maintained it again, with which he tackled it in every capacity for the first time.

We imagine that all these mentions from Red Light District do not harm the sale for his album I’m the problemwhich is from May 16.
