Morgan Wallen

It was the first time Wallen has played the Grand Ole Opry since his racist slur scandal in early 2021.

Ernest is kicked off a big year with a George Jones-inspired heartbreak ballad.

Wallen broke the huge news on Monday morning (Nov. 15) via his personal Instagram page; according to the post, Morgan Wallen's tour, The Dangerous Tour, will also feature special guests Hardy and Larry Fleet.

The decision affirms the Country Music Association's earlier stance that the artist will not be honored or recognized in any sort of way this November.

The singer made a nearly 20 percent profit on the house, which he bought in April 2020.

The idea came from his own sister's adoption journey.

She says his comments were an example of white privilege.

"I haven't really sat and thought about that," the singer said when asked if he thinks country music has "a race problem."

It's his first public interview since the N-word video aired.

"Sand in My Boots" is Wallen's first new single since being removed from radio and streaming playlists in February.

He showed up big where he could, winning three major awards.

Specifically referring to tour dates with Luke Bryan and scheduled festival dates, Wallen says he's bowing out.
