Morgan Wallen recently opened up about the challenges of fame, admitting on the “Last Weekend” podcast with Theo Von that he still finds it to be “weird.” The 31-year-old country singer expressed that the constant vigilance required when out in public adds a layer of stress, making him avoid certain social situations. Instead of frequenting bars, which he humorously noted he hasn’t visited since a notorious incident, Wallen prefers to spend his time hunting with friends, allowing him a sense of normalcy and ease.

Wallen’s candid remarks come on the heels of his controversial and abrupt departure from “Saturday Night Live” during the show’s credits. He was the musical guest for the March 29 episode hosted by Mikey Madison and notably skipped both the afterparty and the tradition of celebrating with the cast. Despite the awkward moment, sources close to SNL indicate there is no animosity between Wallen and the show, suggesting that producers would welcome him back in the future. As he humorously remarked about his last visit to a bar, it seems that Wallen is finding ways to cope in his new reality, even if it means steering clear of the nightlife.
