Morgan Wallen fans spoke with Fox News Digital ahead of his return to the stage on Saturday night, two weeks after his arrest in Nashville.
20 – Morgan Wallen made fans happy when he took the stage the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, Saturday night at Ole Miss, two weeks after his Nashville arrest and a year after a last-minute canceled concert.
Fox News Digital spoke with concert goers ahead of the performance, many of whom weren’t fazed by Wallen’s alleged chair-throwing incident.
«Honestly, I kind of expected it,» said Katelyn, an Ole Miss student from New Orleans, of Wallen’s arrest.
Molly, an 18-year-old from Mississippi, joked, «He just let that liquor talk, just like the song said,» referring to Wallen’s hit «Last Night.»
Andi, a freshman at Ole Miss, said, «I feel like it’s just kind of his personality a little bit.»
Priscillia, a fan from Memphis, noted «That’s kind of Morgan Wallen behavior.» Justin, also from Memphis, added, «he’s a rebel.»
On April 7, Wallen, 30, was charged with three felony counts by the Metro Nashville Police Department after a chair he allegedly threw off the roof of the six-story Chief’s bar landed on Broadway near two police officers.
Many didn’t think it was a big deal, including Samantha, who said «It was unfortunate, but I’m glad no one was hurt.»
«I thought it was really funny, not gonna lie,» said one Wallen fan, while her friend added, «I didn’t think it was that crazy. No one was hurt.»
John, a junior at Ole Miss, told Fox News Digital, «I think it was interesting, but everybody makes mistakes. I don’t think you can hold him to one moment that might have been like a bad moment because we all have those moments.»
