Morgan Wallen is listing new merch after making an abrupt exit on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.
Wallen, 31, made an unusual departure from the studio in New York City after the show on Saturday night (March 29). The singer-songwriter hugged the host, Oscar-winning Anora star Mikey Madison, but didn’t acknowledge any of the SNL cast members as he quickly left the stage. Afterward, Wallen shared a photo of himself getting on a plane on his Instagram story, and wrote: “Get me to God’s country.”
On Tuesday evening (April 1), Wallen offered a glimpse of his new “Get me to God’s country” merch on his Instagram story. The East Tennessee-born country artist is selling hats in two different colors and a t-shirt, each selling for $45 and bearing the now-viral phrase. Wallen has not publicly commented on the products or his SNL appearance as of publication time on Wednesday (April 2).
Wallen served as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, performing “I’m The Problem” and “Just In Case” from his highly-anticipated, 37-track studio record. I’m The Problem will also include “I’m A Little Crazy,” “Love Somebody,” “Smile” and “Lies Lies Lies.” Wallen has shared sneak peeks of other unreleased tracks, including “Come Back As A Redneck,” which marked the singer’s first Instagram post since his SNL appearance. The album is due on May 16, the first day of Wallen’s three-day Sand In My Boots Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and shortly before his headlining “I’m The Problem Tour.” The shows include Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel as direct support, and Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley and Anne Wilson on select dates.
