Morgan Wallen Responds to Backlash Following Abrupt SNL Exit

The country singer's team clarifies his unexpected departure and cryptic Instagram post as criticism of his behavior continues online.

Morgan Wallen left the Saturday Night Live stage abruptly after his March 29 performance, breaking the show's tradition of staying on stage for the closing credits.
Shortly after his exit, Wallen posted a cryptic Instagram photo of his private jet with the caption 'Get me to God’s country,' prompting widespread criticism on social media.
Wallen’s team stated that his actions were not intended to disrespect the show, attributing the abrupt departure to rehearsal habits rather than ill intent.
The backlash adds to Wallen’s history of public controversies, including his 2020 SNL disinvitation for violating COVID-19 protocols and a 2021 racial slur scandal.
Despite ongoing criticism, Wallen debuted two new songs from his latest album, 'One Thing at a Time,' during his SNL performance, underscoring his continued professional success.
