During his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, Morgan Wallen left fans scratching their heads due to an unexpected departure. On March 29, the country artist took the stage as the musical guest, accompanying the episode’s host, Mikey Madison.
Wallen performed two tracks, “I’m The Problem” and “Just in Case.” However, it was his behavior at the show’s conclusion that drew everyone’s curiosity.
In the customary finale segment, where the entire cast usually gathers with the musical guest, Wallen seemed noticeably uneasy. He remained silent, leaving Madison to thank the audience, saying, “Thank you so much to Morgan Wallen. I had a wonderful time. Thank you all.”
Wallen gave a brief salute to the audience, shared a quick hug with Madison, and then exited the stage, bypassing the usual hugs and moments with the cast. A few of the SNL regulars seemed to notice his sudden departure, glancing offstage as the credits rolled.
It’s unclear whether Wallen returned backstage to say goodbye to the cast or join the afterparty. Soon after the show concluded, the singer, who hails from Tennessee, posted an Instagram story featuring a photo of a plane at the airport with the caption, âGet me to Godâs country.â
Fans took to social media, commenting on Wallenâs swift exit.
“Hmm, so having never missed an episode of SNL in decades, Morgan Wallen giving a quick wave, then walking off the stage during goodbyes was odd,â one viewer wrote on X.
âWow, Morgan Wallen just walking off the stage during the credits? In decades of watching SNL, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that,â another viewer echoed.
Another posted: “Morgan Wallen said I didnât want to be here either. Thatâs exactly what the show gets for having him in the first place. #SNL.”
Some fans speculated that Wallenâs behavior could have been a response to not feeling entirely welcomed by the SNL cast.
This appearance marked Wallenâs return to Saturday Night Live almost five years after he was disinvited for violating COVID-19 safety protocols. In October 2020, he was caught partying in Alabama without a mask just days before his scheduled SNL performance. While his initial invite was rescinded, Wallen returned to the show two months later, according to People.
