AceShowbiz - Country superstar Morgan Wallen's recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live" ended with an unexpected twist that has set social media ablaze. The singer's sudden departure during the show's traditional curtain call has fans and critics speculating about his intentions and the possible fallout.
Following his return to "SNL", Wallen stunned viewers by making a quick exit from Studio 8H while host Mikey Madison and the cast mingled onstage during curtain call.
Wallen's exit, which many veteran "SNL" watchers noted as unprecedented, was followed by an Instagram post captioned "Get me to God's country," showing a photo from a private airport landing strip.
Fans and detractors alike took to social media to share their interpretations of Wallen's actions. Some viewed it as an off-the-cuff mishap while others saw it as a deliberate snub to the "SNL" cast.
While this hasty departure led to rampant speculation, sources close to Wallen insist there was no ill will behind the move. They suggest that Wallen didn't think it would be captured on camera and he simply wasn't thinking about how his fast exit would be perceived.
Despite his hasty exit, Wallen did share a brief hug with Madison and saluted the audience before leaving the stage.
Wallen, who's gearing up to release his fourth studio album "I'm the Problem" on May 16, has a contentious past with "SNL." His 2020 debut was postponed after videos surfaced of him ignoring COVID-19 guidelines. He later spoofed the incident alongside guest host Jason Bateman.
This latest appearance marks Wallen's first return to the show since a major controversy in early 2021, where he was caught on video using a racial slur. He was also hit with other scandals from racial slur to multiple drunken antics.
Despite these setbacks, Wallen's career has soared, with his album "Dangerous: The Double Album" being named Billboard's top album of the 21st century, and his recent album "One Thing at a Time" also ranking highly.
Regardless of his intentions, the buzz surrounding Wallen's gig on "SNL" was undeniable.
