Country singer Morgan Wallen caused some drama during an appearance on 
“Saturday Night Live” over the weekend, which included him abruptly exiting 
the stage and later sharing with fans that he was happy to be heading back to 
“God’s country.”

The 31-year-old resident of Nashville performed two songs during Saturday 
night’s episode and stuck around until the gathering of cast members at the 
end, which usually involves hugs and waves to the audience. However, Wallen 
didn’t stick around for small talk, opting to walk off the stage and past a 
camera that captured his abrupt movements. 

“SNL” fans were quick to comment on Wallen’s untraditional exit, which is not 
the way guests and cast members usually wrap up their appearances.

	Thank you, Mikey Madison and @MorganWallen! Goodnight!

Later, Wallen got even more attention when he posted a photo to Instagram 
Stories of what appeared to be a private jet ready to depart from the New 
York area. “Get me to God’s country,” the caption said, per Variety.

Fans were divided over the drama, arguing over whether it was an accidental 
faux pas or if Wallen was making a point by exiting the left-leaning show in 
what many considered a rude manner.

“Wow, Morgan Wallen just walking off the stage during the @nbcsnl credits? In 
decades of watching SNL, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. For so many of 
us, that is sacred ground,” one reaction said.

“Morgan Wallen with a little more of the catty-ass petty loser sh** he so 
proudly displayed running offstage down the center aisle & right past the 
camera at SNL curtain call,” another reply said. “This & the tone-deaf 
private jet flaunt couldn’t be more lame & undercutting coming from a country 
star.”

“All this hate to Morgan Wallen because he walked off stage before the end 
credits as if he hasn’t been getting bashed literally all week by all you 
insane liberals. He [doesn’t] owe you anything and you all are low life 
haters who can’t let go of the past. Like grow tf up,” one commenter wrote. 

Another agreed, “This is so based. SNL is officially irrelevant.”

“SNL” writer Josh Patten joked about the whole debacle, posting a photo to 
his social media of a Krispy Kreme truck with the back doors open. He 
included the same caption Wallen used, writing, “Get me to God’s country,” 
per The Hollywood Reporter.

When one media outlet suggested that meant Patten was “not a Morgan Wallen 
fan,” the writer responded with an eye roll emoji and a screenshot of one of 
his playlists from 2023, which included some of Wallen’s music.

Wallen was a guest on “SNL” to promote his upcoming album, “I’m the Problem,” 
which comes out May 16.
