CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

Country superstar Morgan Wallen performed two songs from a forthcoming album that is expected to be one of the year’s biggest blockbusters on “Saturday Night Live,” but it wasn’t the music that stirred up the most chatter after the episode ended.

During the traditional “SNL” close, Wallen did stick around long enough to salute the audience, and then to share a light hug with host Mikey Madison. But, bucking protocol, he then bolted from the stage rather than stick around for stage time with the cast, walking into the audience and straight toward (and past) the camera

Later, Wallen’s sole post to his social media after the show consisted of a photo of his private jet on the tarmac in New York with the caption: “Get me to God’s country.”

Despite Morgan Wallen’s abrupt “SNL” walk-off and a post suggesting he was in a hurry to leave New York, reading “Get me to God’s country,” sources in Wallen’s camp maintain that he had a good time on the show and no slight was intended.https://t.co/z4AkYnDBS1
