Morgan Wallen wasn’t at the ACMs last week, but he had a good reason. He was in Northern Ireland playing golf with Tom Brady. In the post Morgan shared from the golf course, he’s even catching a football thrown by the G.O.A.T. himself. His caption was, “Had a little mustard on it.” In addition to Morgan, here are some other country stars that skipped the ACMs this year:
1. Post Malone
2. Luke Combs
3. Carrie Underwood
4. Luke Bryan
5. Kacey Musgraves
6. Kane Brown
7. Thomas Rhett
The ACMs went down last week, and for the most part went off without a hitch. Except everyone being angry that Old Dominion won AGAIN for Group of the Year. Some other things:
1. Jelly Roll overshared a bit. He tweeted, “Back here smoking a joint with Ernest in case y’all don’t see us on TV. But to perform real soon.”
2. Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts debuted a new lady on the red carpet.
4. Cody Johnson and his wife Brandi announced that they were pregnant with their third child.
5. Even though Ella Langley and Riley Green won a bunch of awards, the internet is now convinced they no longer like each other. It doesn’t help that someone then spotted Riley and Megan Moroney at an airport together.
6. Some people think that Kelsea Ballerini was lip-synching during her performance. But that didn’t stop her boyfriend, Chase Stokes, from shading the ACMs after Kelsea went home empty-handed.
Move over Morgan Wallen, because Morgan Walmart is coming for your job. At the University of Tennessee there was just a Morgan Wallen look-a-like competition with the winner receiving a crisp $100 bill. The event was unsanctioned, but a bunch of dudes still showed up to compete for the prize. And after three intense rounds of battles and knockouts. Only one man remained . . . Morgan Walmart. He looks so much like him that he gets called Morgan Walmart when he’s out at bars. Easy win for the kid.
