Morgan Wallen Sells ‘God’s Country’ Shirts After ‘SNL’ Walk-Off Exit

The Billboard Women in Music 2025 event is just around the corner, and the excitement is building up. However, one name that has been making headlines lately is not a woman but country star Morgan Wallen. Known for his chart-topping hits and controversial moments, Wallen recently stirred up more buzz with his unexpected walk-off exit from “Saturday Night Live” during the March 29 episode.

During his performance on the show, Wallen decided to walk off the stage at the end of the show, a moment usually reserved for the host and musical guest to hug the cast. This abrupt exit raised eyebrows and led to speculation on social media about whether there was tension between Wallen and the show. Adding fuel to the fire was Wallen’s Instagram post after the show, where he shared a photo of a private jet with the caption “Get me to God’s country,” a phrase that has now become associated with the incident.

However, sources close to Wallen clarified that there was no bad blood between the singer and “SNL.” They emphasized that Wallen had a great time on the show, and his exit was not intended as a slight towards anyone. It was also revealed that Wallen had been approached to appear in a pre-taped music sketch for the episode but declined the offer, with Joe Jonas ultimately taking his place in the sketch.

In the aftermath of the incident, “SNL” cast member Kenan Thompson shared his thoughts, describing Wallen’s exit as abrupt and leaving him unsure of the singer’s feelings towards the show. Thompson also questioned the meaning behind Wallen’s Instagram post, wondering if it implied that the show was not in “God’s country.” Despite the speculation and confusion, Thompson remained focused on the upcoming shows, including one featuring Jack Black.

As the dust settles on the “SNL” controversy, fans can look forward to Wallen’s upcoming album, “I’m the Problem,” set to be released on May 16, 2025. While the incident may have caused a stir, Wallen’s music continues to resonate with his loyal fan base, and his new album is eagerly awaited by many. Stay tuned for more updates on Morgan Wallen and the Billboard Women in Music 2025 event.
