Country singer Morgan Wallen caused some drama during an appearance on �Saturday Night Live� over the weekend, which included him abruptly exiting
the stage and later sharing with fans that he was happy to be heading back to �God�s country.�

The 31-year-old resident of Nashville performed two songs during Saturday night�s episode and stuck around until the gathering of cast members at the end, which usually involves hugs and waves to the audience. However, Wallen didn�t stick around for small talk, opting to walk off the stage and past a camera that captured his abrupt movements.

�SNL� fans were quick to comment on Wallen�s untraditional exit, which is not the way guests and cast members usually wrap up their appearances.

Thank you, Mikey Madison and @MorganWallen! Goodnight!

Later, Wallen got even more attention when he posted a photo to Instagram Stories of what appeared to be a private jet ready to depart from the New
York area. �Get me to God�s country,� the caption said, per Variety.

Fans were divided over the drama, arguing over whether it was an accidental faux pas or if Wallen was making a point by exiting the left-leaning show in what many considered a rude manner.

�Wow, Morgan Wallen just walking off the stage during the @nbcsnl credits? In decades of watching SNL, I don�t think I�ve ever seen that. For so many of
us, that is sacred ground,� one reaction said.

�Morgan Wallen with a little more of the catty-ass petty loser sh** he so proudly displayed running offstage down the center aisle & right past the camera at SNL curtain call,� another reply said. �This & the tone-deaf
private jet flaunt couldn�t be more lame & undercutting coming from a country star.�

�All this hate to Morgan Wallen because he walked off stage before the end credits as if he hasn�t been getting bashed literally all week by all you insane liberals. He [doesn�t] owe you anything and you all are low life
haters who can�t let go of the past. Like grow tf up,� one commenter wrote.

Another agreed, �This is so based. SNL is officially irrelevant.�

�SNL� writer Josh Patten joked about the whole debacle, posting a photo to
his social media of a Krispy Kreme truck with the back doors open. He
included the same caption Wallen used, writing, �Get me to God�s country,�
per The Hollywood Reporter.

When one media outlet suggested that meant Patten was �not a Morgan Wallen fan,� the writer responded with an eye roll emoji and a screenshot of one of his playlists from 2023, which included some of Wallen�s music.

Wallen was a guest on �SNL� to promote his upcoming album, �I�m the Problem,� which comes out May 16.
