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. »
