New Information Emerges on Morgan Wallen's 'SNL' Walk-Off
Much like the Cold Open or the Opening Monologue, the Goodnights & Credits part of Saturday Night Live is a sacred portion of the iconic sketch comedy show. And viewers who watched this week’s episode all the way to the end are in shock that musical guest Morgan Wallen seemed to have disrespected that moment.
At the end of Saturday night’s episode, hosted by newly-minted Oscar-winner Mikey Madison, Wallen caused a bit of a stir when he didn’t even wait for the credits to finish before abruptly leaving the stage—and possibly Studio 8H altogether. But according to Wallen’s camp, it was nothing personal.

Without naming names or sharing any specific quotes, Variety’s Chris Willman reported on Sunday morning that the uproar Wallen’s exit caused was not meant to be a slight to the show or any of its performers.
“Sources in Wallen’s camp say there’s nothing to the conjecture that the singer was signaling tension, maintaining that he had a good time and no slight was intended with either his prominent exit or his Instagram post,” Willman wrote.
TREND ALERT????

Not long after his departure from the stage, Wallen posted a photo of a plane, presumably from the airport, with a simple five-word caption: “Get me to God’s country."
While it’s unconfirmed whether the “I’m the Problem” singer headed straight to the airport from the stage, or returned to offer proper goodbyes to the SNL cast and crew, his team’s comment—coupled with the social media post—seem to indicate Wallen had places to be.
